Talk:Henry Merritt Wriston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just added a serial comma in "the curriculum, faculty, and library collections".

While I understand that some people believe that serial commas are not needed (and I recognize the right of those people to their opinion), this sentence could have two meanings without the comma:

the curriculum,

   the faculty and
       the library collections   [as is intended, I believe]

OR

the curriculum,

   the faculty collections and 
        the library collections.

This is one case in which I believe there is less room for objection to a serial comma.
