[3] Between 1868 and 1872, Moss served as editor of the National Baptist as well as professor of New Testament interpretation at the Crozer Theological Seminary in Upland, Pennsylvania.
After a few years away from academia, he returned as lecturer of Christian Sociology at Bucknell University, where he remained until his death on July 12, 1904.
[4] However, giving his unusual prowess as a platform speaker, Moss accumulated several outstanding achievements during his time at Indiana University.
[4] Several small changes occurred at the university during his presidency: the curriculum was somewhat expanded, an attempt was made to increase salaries for professors and reduce faculty work loads, and several men were added to the faculty as well as young men added to the teaching staff as assistants.
The most immediate success of this convention was the passage of a bill by the 1883 legislature giving a tax of one-half cent on each $100 of appraised value in order to create an endowment for the university.
This tax was scheduled to last for thirteen years; at its enactment, it was estimated to produce over a half a million dollars.
[2] The new science building that was built on Seminary Square in 1873 was struck by lightning and destroyed by a fire on July 12, 1883.
Affidavits were presented to the board of trustees detailing the inappropriate behavior observed between the two by students M. W. Fordyce and Ed.
[6] These two were members of a group that called themselves the Moss Killers along with four fellow students and janitor Thomas Spicer.
[9] In December 1884, the Baptist Council conducted its own investigation into the relationship between Moss and Graydon; in his defense, he stated, "I have confessed that I was guilty of an indiscretion but that was all".
Although he suffered considerable physical ailments during his later years in life, Lemuel Moss used his remaining energy on behalf of the Baptist denominations.
