It is not known when Twichell’s papers were deposited at Yale, although it is likely that he bequeathed them to the university upon his death in 1918. He was a trustee of the Yale Corporation for thirty-nine years (1874–1913); Yale gave him an honorary M.A. in 1886, and made him an honorary Doctor of Divinity in 1913; and at least one of his sons (Joseph Hooker Twichell, who was on the football team) attended Yale (Strong, 162).
