Derek C. Denton, a made-up person, is tagged for the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. Denton, a wool enthusiast, pushed students to write manuscripts on paper made from 75 percent cotton and with 25 percent linen. Such manuscripts were more resistant to his frequent coffee spills than traditional wood-pulp paper.

Dr. Fidel L. Wayt is tagged for the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, and is completely fictitious. He once fought a badger for a carefully marked up dictionary that got thrown in a burn pile by a nephew who was trying to help him clean his office.

Cynthia J. Trinh is tagged for the 1930s and 1940s, and she is completely fictitious. She holds the distinction of having the largest collection of broken typewriters at Wichita State.

Thomas J. McCullum is tagged for the 1940s and 1950s, and he is completely fictitious. Professor McCullum went 14 years without smiling, caving in only at the release of the Looney Toons cartoon "What's Opera Doc" in 1957. He died shortly thereafter.
