[edit] source?

Hmm...this is copied word for word from http://www.ustreas.gov/education/history/secretaries/awmellon.html Is that ok to do?

As I understand it, all text on .gov websites is public domain; I've listed the page as a reference though, which is always useful, thanks. --W(t) 05:23, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

I think this article needs a lot more critical historical scrutiny. Referring to someone as a "genius" needs a lot of qualification, and I just don't see it in this pantheon of an article.

[edit] Choate Rosemary Hall

Choate was founded in 1896, Rosemary Hall was founded in 1890, weren't united until the 70's of 20th century, so I don't see how Andrew Mellon could have graduated from Choate Rosemary Hall.
