James Franklin Purvis (c. 1808 – April 23, 1880) was an American slave trader, broker, and banker who worked primarily in Baltimore. He was a nephew of Isaac Franklin of Franklin & Armfield, and traded in Maryland, Louisiana, and Mississippi in the 1830s and early 1840s. In 1842 he became a devout Methodist, quit the slave trade, and transitioned into real estate, banking, and stock brokering. After his bank failed in 1868, he retired to Carroll County, Maryland, where he died of a heart attack in 1880 at age 72.

Dr. Karyn Purvis
1949-2016
Internationally renowned child development expert Dr. Karyn Sue Brand Purvis ’97 (MS ’01 PhD ’03) devoted her life and academic pursuits to helping “children from hard places,” a phrase she coined to describe youngsters affected by trauma, abuse and neglect.
“There’s not a child she cannot heal,” psychology professor Dr. David Cross, her longtime mentor and research partner, told TCU Magazine in 2012.
Together, Purvis and Cross founded The TCU Institute of Child Development in 2005 and, through her charisma and kind-heartedness, grew it into one of the world’s leading training centers for caregivers and families grappling with social, behavioral and emotional struggles related to developmental impairments.
Purvis died April 12 after an extended illness. She was 66.
“I don’t think this it’s hyperbole to state that, save possibly for Gary Patterson, no recent TCU employee has brought more national and international recognition to TCU than has Karyn.
