NOTE by Frank J. Tavener: According to what my father -- Henry Clay Tavener (Jr.) -- told me, my grandfather officially changed the spelling of his surname by dropping one "n". But, as of this posting, I haven't found any documents proving this name change. However, all the documents that I have in my possession -- filled out by my grandfather -- are spelled with one "n". This includes his marriage certificate at age 25.

(NOTE from Frank Tavener: On his 1918 WWI Draft Card, Eugene Tavener listed his place of employment as Middle Tennessee State Normal Schooll, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.) The following information was found on the website of Middle Tennessee State University:
Our History
Middle Tennessee State University was founded in 1911 as a state normal school with a 2-year teacher-training program, evolved into a 4-year college in 1925, and attained university status in 1965. Today, MTSU consists of 5 colleges, 36 academic departments, 9 Chairs and 2 Centers of Excellence, and several endowed chairs. With a student body coming from almost every Tennessee county, 44 states, and 59 foreign countries, MTSU's enrollment is in excess of 19,000. Approximately 1,700 comprise the staff of the University. The campus covers approximately 500 acres and 112 buildings. As the University grew, the service needs of the University grew. In 1994, the Physical Plant changed its name to Facilities Services. Why? Because Facilities Services is about service, and the name was changed to reflect that. Each unit comprising Facilities Services makes a real contribution to the learning environment at MTSU.

Nashville: George Peabody College for Teachers, 1941.
The Mother of Peabody College
…President Stearns brought with him two teachers, both from Massachusetts, Miss Julia Sears and Miss Emma Cutter. Both were products of Bridgewater in a day when that institution led in the training of teachers. Miss Sears remained thirty-two years, retiring in 1907. A professorship in the teaching of mathematics, partly endowed by her gift, bears her name today. Miss Cutter married after six years of service. Miss Lizzie Bloomstein graduated in 1877, in the first graduating class. She became a member of the faculty at the opening of the ensuing session and remained until her death in 1927. The later period of her service was as librarian. John L. Lampson was professor of Latin from 1882 to 1899. His service was of outstanding quality, a major item of which was the development of Charles K. Little of whom more will be said subsequently. Miss Julia Doak taught mathematics from 1883 to 1899. Benjamin B. Penfield was professor of biology during the same period. A. L. Purinton was professor of chemistry from 1889 to 1899. Hiram A. Vance was in charge of English for seventeen years, beginning in 1889. Albert Pike Bourland taught English literature from 1890 to 1906. E. C. Huntington taught Greek from 1888 to 1900. Wickliffe Rose taught philosophy and education from 1890 to 1906. Elizabeth R. Clark was in charge of art and the library from 1890 to 1902. James M. King was professor of chemistry and physics from 1896 to 1901. Priestley H. Manning was professor of geography from 1891 to 1909, with an intermission from 1900 to 1903. After his return, biology and physics were added to his assignments. William R. Garrett held the professorship of American history from 1895 to 1904. J. W. Brister was professor of mathematics from 1903 to 1911. Eugene Tavenner was assistant professor of Latin from 1904 to 1911, and George Herbert Clarke was professor of English literature during the same period. These probably exerted the most influence on the college in particular and Southern education in general.

The following information was contributed by Cynthia Buskirk, who mailed me copies of numerous Tavenner documents on 11 Jan 2006.
Excerpt from an article in: West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia Vol. 21:
p. 4621: TAVENNER, Eugene, classical philologist at Washington University, St. Louis, [Missouri] was born in Parkersburg. He was a descendant of Col. Thomas Tavenner, one of the earlier settlers of the Ohio Valley for whom Tavennerville, now a part of Parkersburg, was named.
Dr. Tavenner was educated at Parkersburg High School, received his A. B. at Peabody and his A. M. and Ph.D. from Columbia University. He taught at Peabody and Middle Tennessee Normal School before joining the Washington University faculty in 1919. He was editor-in-Chief of the "Classical Journal" after 1935. Dr. Tavenner specialized in Roman religion and magic.
