The story of the Illinois Branch is unique in being documented within published material, because of the national stature of two academics in the fourth generation. Brothers Walter Dill Scott and John Adams Scott, taught at Northwestern University, and Walter became President of the esteemed institution at the time it was needing the strong leadership he was able to provide. During his tenure over 56 buildings were constructed or renovated and an additional six were under construction. His publishing record was equally prolific with eight books to his credit and an additional thirteen titles under joint authorship.
Due to his prominence both the history of his family and career life are well documented. Scott of Northwestern a book length biography transcribed for HomePort, includes valuable family history, despite some minor errors.
