Wyman received his early education in the Lowell public schools and had no thought of a college education until, after he and his mother had moved to Boston in December, 1865, he met W. E. Fette, Harvard, '58. Wyman's study of Greek for the entrance examination did not begin until November, 1867, but he passed successfully in the fall of 1868. After his mother's death, he was thrown on his own resources, and, with little assistance, worked his way through College by "mental and physical labor," a forecast of the energy and ability he showed throughout his life. He graduated with the idea of studying marine law and of devoting himself to its practice, but, after being for nearly two years in the office of F. B. Dixon, marine adjuster, changed his mind, and for several years afterwards engaged successfully in various business enterprises, amongst others, in that of printers' supplies in Boston.
