I am happy to have been able to complete this project; however, it would be unfair to take full credit for this project alone. Accordingly, I would like to thank:
Dr. Judith Miller of the Emory History Department who gave me the initial idea for this project when I toured Emory in 2019 and has remained one of the strongest supporters and advisors of this project.
Dr. Matthew Payne of the Emory History Department who conducted a guided reading with me in the spring of 2021 on Dooley and his function as a mascot. It was from this project that my understanding of Dooley as an inversive figure crystalized and where I conducted most of the research on Dooley himself.
Ashley Stevens of the Woodruff Health Sciences Library who provided invaluable support during this project as I conducted archival work during the summer.
Rachel Delmarcelle for occasional technical assistance.
The Emory History Department for providing me the resources to conduct this research project.
The Emory Archives for maintaining such complete and useful collections.
