The article in question does not give a year, only that "he completed a 'scientific course' at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania." --Allen3talk19:37, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have checked the other sources used for this article, along with several other books I own dealing with the history of Arizona Territory, and none of them provide a date for Titus' enrollment at Washington College. The only date provided is for the 1837 graduation from Transylvania University. --Allen3talk19:53, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
