Ted Lyon papers. 1962-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/701719982

The Ted Lyon papers consist mainly of educational materials. The first eight boxes house material relating to Lyon's undergraduate and doctorate work at the University of Utah and the University of California, Los Angeles. This material basically consists of class notes, with pages of Lyon's research mingled among them. As a whole, the collection consists mainly of teaching aids, lecture notes, and student work from the years Lyon spent as a professor. Most of these course files pertain to Lyon's time spent as a professor at Brigham Young University, but there are also course files and teaching aids relating to his time as a professor at both the University of Oklahoma and the University of Wisconsin. Much of this material is written in Spanish, and includes not only lecture notes and teaching aids but publications, books, and magazines by Lyon himself and the authors his classes studied. There are also multiple boxes containing letters of recommendation written by Lyon for numerous students, starting in the early 1980s and lasting until 2006. After the completion of Lyon's university work, there are many boxes containing Lyon's personal correspondence, as well as departmental correspondence from the times Lyon worked as a professor.
