To anonymous editor.
Thanks for your contributions to this page. However I can find no reference to a David Wong who attended Brasenose and was an engineer and philanthropist. Please could you add more details to this page or to Dave Wong if this person is in fact worthy of being listed here. Rowing in the Brasenose 2nd VIII probably doesn't count.

[edit] Archer
His status is unclear (and his own accounts are notoriously fictitious). After one of his bankruptcies, he was offered a room in College by the Principal, a friend of his. He may have enrolled for a PGCE (though, as he had no first degree, this is dubious in one sense or another), but certainly didn't leave with any qualification. Whether he counts as a former student is pretty unclear. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:36, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
- Archer was a student at Brasenose for 3 years after which he was awarded an Oxford University endorsed qualification ( a diploma, not a degree) - the title of this section is "notable former students". He is notable, and he was a student as Brasenose. Either he is reinserted, or else the title is changed to reflect a list of only those sitting for Oxford degrees (whether obtained or not).--jrleighton 16:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

- Could you provide a citation for this claim (not using Archer as a source, of course)? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:27, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
