Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Perkins was born in Champaign County, Illinois, on 28 October 1902, the son of Jay and Bertha (Holmes) Perkins. He was a graduate of Williams College and General Theological Seminary, and married Clara Mae Jessup in Manhattan, New York, on 21 July 1934. He arrived in the Diocese of Northern Indiana in 1936 and had occasional oversight duties at St. Augustine's Church, Gary, and St. James, Goshen. However, he was primarily a teacher, having taught Christian ethics at General Theological Seminary. He left Indiana in 1939 and in 1940, he was enumerated in Glasgow, Montana, with his occupation listed as historian. By 1942 he registered for the draft in Chicago, listing the Episcopal Diocese of Chicago as his employer. He died in Louisa County, Virginia, on 21 October 1985 and left his body to science.
