Cornelius Weygandt is from Pennsylvania Dutch heritage. He remains the leading authority of all things Pennsylvania Dutch. Weygandt was a decorated Professor of English Literature at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was awarded for his greatness in teaching by the Friars Senior Society. In his autobiography, On the Edge of Evening, Weygandt reminisces about his childhood, since he was different from most of his peers. He recalls the other children running and playing while he was busy with his texts or learning Latin. Most of his childhood friends were actually adults. He spent his free time listening to stories from his Aunt Rachel or Lawrence Kelly, the family gardener, who taught Weygandt rhymes as they worked together.
