Description
Samuel Silas Curry (November 23, 1847 – December 24, 1921) was an American professor of elocution and vocal expression. He is the namesake of Curry College in Milton, Massachusetts. With no school nearby, his early education was received at home. His parents encouraged his learning, and shared with him their love of history and literature. As a young man, he left the farm to attend East Tennessee Wesleyan University (later Grant University), where he proved to be an outstanding scholar, graduating in 1872 with the school's highest honors. In 1878 he graduated with both a diploma in oratory and a Master of Arts degree, and went on to earn his PhD in 1880. In that same year he also received a diploma from Guilmette's School of Vocal Physiology in Boston.
