[edit] History section / Copyvio

The History section was a lightly-edited version of the history page on the Concord University website [1]

These two sentences, for example, appear verbatim on that page. (I'm not quoting the rest of them, so as not to repeat the copyvio here.)

Captain James Harvey French was the first principal, and he served until his death in 1891.
Due to confusion with another West Virginia post office in Hampshire County called "Concord", the name of the town was changed to "Athens", an obvious choice of the old Greek city for a community that was a center of learning. But the school kept "Concord" as its name.

I'm hoping someone can restore an unencumbered version of this information. -- Heath 24.127.115.128 23:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
