 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 1
From the Collection:

A single typescript biography of University of Tennessee Engineering Dean and athlete Nathan W. Dougherty written by his eldest daughter, Marie Dougherty Wellborn. The text provides an extensive and intimate look at Dougherty's life as a student, athlete, professor, coach, dean, and father.

Highly extensive, this biography details Dougherty's life through the perspective of his eldest daughter, Marie, and is abound with contextual detail. The table of contents is titled "From My Point of View" and the chapters are divided as such, exemplified through titles such as "The Family Man," wherein Wellborn provides an intimate glimpse of Dougherty as a father to his children. This biography primarily emphasizes Dougherty's role as an educator and father rather than as an athlete, though this facet of his life is also covered within the text over six pages of the chapter "The Student."
