Professor Lyon would often invite literary figures such as Sinclair Lewis, Gertrude Stein, Erskine Caldwell and Clare Booth Luce to lecture to his students. Something of a Renaissance man, Professor Lyon had in his younger days administered Columbia University's pre-medical courses which were offered at Long Island University's campus and also planned the pre-law courses Columbia offered for the Brooklyn Law School of St. Lawrence University.
