Walter Everett graduated from Brown in 1885. He spent time studying philosophy in Germany prior to returning to Brown in 1899 as a professor in the Philosophy Department. He remained in that position until 1930, serving as chairman of the department as well. Everett stepped in as acting president of the university while President Faunce traveled in 1912-13. His 1918 publication Moral Values: A Study of the Perspectives of Conduct still provokes heated philosophical discussions today. In 1922-23 Everett served as president of the American Philosophical Society, and as professor emeritus in 1934, he gave an important lecture on the life of the spirit.
