Counting presidents

[edit]

Hi, LaszloWalrus, please go to Duke's Presidents. You will see that Duke itself refers to Brodhead as its ninth president. Counting back, that makes Few the first (which should be obvious anyway). I think we should stick with the university's own method of numbering its presidents, rather than inventing a new and more confusing method. Cheers, Eleuther 01:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced bishopric

[edit]

Hi, 152.3.81.219, I reverted your change because you are misreading the source. It states that Kilgo, the previous president, was made a bishop. When Kilgo resigned the presidency to take up his new job as bishop, Few became the next president. Few himself was not a bishop, or even (as far as I can find) a cleric. Also, when you created the Notes section, you deleted my References section, I assume by accident, so I'm reverting that too. (The source you used is already linked to by the one I cited, so I don't think there's a need to add it separately.) Eleuther 06:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
