핵심 특성
주요 업적
골드코스트 태생의 교육자인 그는 아프리카의 교육을 조사한 펠프스-스톡스 위원회(1920년과 1924년 순방)의 유일한 아프리카인 위원이었고, 1924년 말 골드코스트의 아치모타 대학 교직원으로 합류해 부교장보를 맡았다.
1902년 노스캐롤라이나의 리빙스턴 대학을 졸업한 뒤 그는 이 대학에 남아 교무처장 겸 영어, 사회학, 경제학 교사로 일했고, 그동안 컬럼비아 대학에서 박사 과정을 밟았다.
그는 A. G. 프레이저를 아치모타의 교장으로 지지했고, 1925년에는 대학에 여학생도 받도록 확대하는 문제를 식민성 자문위원회와 협의하기 위해 런던으로 갔다.
삶의 장면들
리빙스턴 대학에서 그는 매일 아침 여덟 시에 직접 출석을 부르며 시간 엄수에 철저하기로 알려졌고, 그가 늦기를 기다린 학생들은 한 번도 성공하지 못했다.
이는 한 우호적 전기가 전하는, 가르치는 일에서의 규칙적이고 스스로 부과한 일과와 부합한다. 자기 규율
1925년 영국의 학생기독교운동 대회에서 육칠백 명의 학생을 상대로 한 일요일 연설은 질문이 이어져 한 참석자의 말로는 자정에야 겨우 끝났다.
이는 우호적인 증인들이 전하는, 많은 학생 청중을 사로잡고 호응을 이끌어내는 능력과 부합한다. 설득력
전환점
1924년 초 아치모타, 포트헤어, 나이지리아 정부의 제안이 있던 가운데 그는 J. H. 올덤에게 자신의 마음이 골드코스트에 있다고 말하며 프레이저를 교장으로 지지했고, 1924년 말 아치모타의 고위 교직원으로 골드코스트에 돌아갔다.
이는 고국에서 함께하는 기관 건설 사업에 헌신하기로 선택한 것과 부합한다. 협업 성향

- Edwin W. Smith, 'Aggrey of Africa: A Study in Black and White' (Doubleday, Doran and Company, New York, 1929; Internet Archive scan, full text read in part), a biography written for the Phelps-Stokes trustees from his letters, his widow and colleagues: his schooling, his student years and professorship at Livingstone College (registrar, classes in English, sociology and economics), the two commissions, and the genesis of Achimota, including his recommendation of A. G. Fraser as principal and his appointment as assistant vice-principal. The author says he tried not to paint an idealised picture, but the book is admiring and much of its testimony comes from friends; it also records the 'running fire of black criticism' he met from radical Africans at one meeting.
