 Twentieth Century Literature: Alyse Gregory, Scofield Thayer, and the Dial
Nonetheless, when Thayer resigned in June 1925, he insisted in his "Announcement" (533) that the decisions concerning the contents of the magazine had been colored by the personalities of his staff, and that Alyse Gregory's contribution had been vital.
The bias of Thayer and Watson was not solely favorable to literary and artistic experimentalism, nor was The Dial oriented toward the new aesthetic forms at the expense of the traditional ones despite its hospitality to the new formalism.
Thayer's idealistic vision of the role of his journal met with Gregory's full approval she too believed in an unspecified perfection as governed by her taste (which generally coincided with Thayer's) and determined by a modernist eclecticism that was frequently at odds with her conservative background.

 Marianne Moore
Scofield Thayer and Sibley Watson, owners of the Dial Press, arranged for the book’s publication to coincide with the announcement of Moore’s 1924 Dial Award for literature.
Scofield Thayer suggested it: Moore had sent him a draft of "Sea Unicorns and Land Unicorns" and a long letter outlining her sources.
Thayer was shrewd in seeing that the interest of Moore's notes extends beyond mere acknowledgement of debt, that a change of scene can bring out a new sense in a piece of writing, sometimes to the extent of making it speak against its origins.

 The Biblical Examiner - October 1997
Scofield tells us that Christians must be "as to the earth, pilgrims and strangers." Let us follow to an absurdity the implications of those words.
Obviously, Scofield had to reach this conclusion that "Christ is never called the King of the Church" because he totally rejected the orthodox, Biblical doctrine that the Gospel Church is the new Israel of God.
The Scofield religion leaves the reader to determine for him or her self what is sin and what is not, for the reader is left with no command-word from God; he or she is only left with moral applications while he or she waits to be exalted to rule and reign with Christ.

It was Bourne who introduced Alyse to Scofield Thayer, shortly before the latter became editor of The Dial, which he had bought in 1919 with Sibley Watson.
Thayer and Watson would often visit the little tea and flower shop which Alyse, in 'her sole venture into business', had opened at this time with a friend on the corner of Seventh Avenue and Eleventh Street.
It was close to the offices of The Dial, and Thayer and Watson, meeting at the shop to discuss their manuscripts, soon came to realise Alyse's gifts and the soundness of her judgment.

The school I refer to is that of the “Brethren” founded by J. Darby … Scofield’s Reference Bible represents a lifelong study of the Scriptures … and Scofield was for a generation an assiduous and admiring student of Darby’s writing.” (Pp.
The Scofield Reference Bible, (to which we will refer hereafter as Scofield R. B.), is without doubt the main authority for the doctrine.
The Scofield R. makes the assertion “That it is not taught in the Scriptures that the Christian inherits the distinctive Jewish promises.” (P. 1204) A careful comparison of all references to promises, prophecies and prophets, will unquestionably remove all doubt concerning the postponement of any part of God’s plan to a future age.

Paranoid Scofield Thayer lured her with his pleas to save his magazine from the sly machinations of other men, and the consumptive Llewelyn Powys charmed her with his old-fashioned British manners and claimed her love.
Thayer, although very generous to Powys during his illness, had never particularly cared for him.
Thayer's policy of printing both the "inevitable" and the "impossible" was firmly established by this time, and he correctly assumed that in Gregory--granted her fastidious convictions--he had a staunch ally.

Cummings' friendship with Scofield Thayer and Sibley Watson went back to their days together at Harvard in the early teens.
But as Thayer grew increasingly remote from Elaine, maintaining a separate apartment from hers, Cummings gradually replaced him in her affections (with Thayer's tacit approval) and fathered a child by Elaine in December l919.

The Pound letters alone introduce students of modernism to fresh primary materials, written during the artistic and literary ferment of the early twenties while Pound was engrossed in promotional and acquisitions work for The Dial in England and on the continent.
The lively and more intimate letters of Thayer and Watson, revealing their contrasting temperaments and tastes, show them working out their relationship with Pound and with each other and planning the editorial course of the publication.
As The Dial became the premier international magazine of the 1920s, Thayer and Watson, together with Pound, became leading players in the drama of modernism, helping to shape the world of art and literature.

In 1918, Scofield Thayer and Sibley Watson, two wealthy young men, bought the Dial, formerly a Chicago critical journal, and transformed it into a magazine of literature and the arts based in New York City.
Although Pound obtained contributions from many European writers, including Yeats, Proust and Eliot, Thayer, who was suffering from mental illness, fired him in 1923.
Documented in the correspondence is Pound's exasperation with Thayer's literary conservatism and his more cooperative relationship with Watson, who shared Pound's commitment to modernism.

The other, to Lady Rothermere, who funded his literary magazine, the Criterion, described how Lucy Thayer, the cousin of Eliot's Harvard classmate Scofield Thayer, had made a pass at Vivien, falling on her knees and professing her love.
When I worked for her, I often wondered if she would be able to let go of any of the letters, and was breathless with relief when the first volume went off.
Despite her continued protestations that she needs to fill in this or that gap in the collection (for several months when I worked for her it was missing letters to Scofield Thayer), and the scrupulousness of her editing, her reluctance to publish the next volume of letters cannot simply be a matter of scholarship.
