Changed "senior faculty member" to "senior fellow," largely due to information on his official Mises.org bio, here: http://www.mises.org/fellows.asp?control=12 Senior fellows are also members of the senior faculty at the Mises Institute, as indicated here: http://www.mises.org/faculty.asp I feel that the "Senior Fellow" title is more specific, and therefore more informative.

The Mises page here indiactes that there is only one "fellow" at Mises, Marcus Verhaegh. The bio page does not put "senior fellow" in caps, apparently using the term loosely. Based on the information at the Mises Institute, "Senior Faculty" member appears to be the correct title. -Willmcw July 8, 2005 22:30 (UTC)

Okay, as far as the "fellow" list faculty page is a little out of date. We actually have somewhere around 12 fellows here right now (other than M. Verhaegh, the fellows are summer fellows, not year-long). That's really neither here nor there, of course. I asked Jeff Tucker, Editorial VP of the Mises Institute, what the preferred title for Dr. Thornton is. He responded with "Senior Resident Faculty." This distinguishes Dr. Thornton from the numerous faculty members who are not resident faculty (those who only come in for the summer seminars). So, Willmcw, it appears that you figured this one out... Am changing "Senior Fellow" to "Senior Resident Faculty member." This should be more accurate than either the present title or the slightly more simple "Senior Faculty."DickClarkMises 16:30, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for doing the research. Cheers, -Willmcw 19:16, July 11, 2005 (UTC)
