[edit] Counting presidents

Hi, LaszloWalrus, please go to Duke's Presidents. You will see that Duke itself refers to Brodhead as its ninth president. Counting back, that makes Few the first (which should be obvious anyway). I think we should stick with the university's own method of numbering its presidents, rather than inventing a new and more confusing method. Cheers, Eleuther 01:43, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced bishopric

Hi, 152.3.81.219, I reverted your change because you are misreading the source. It states that Kilgo, the previous president, was made a bishop. When Kilgo resigned the presidency to take up his new job as bishop, Few became the next president. Few himself was not a bishop, or even (as far as I can find) a cleric. Also, when you created the Notes section, you deleted my References section, I assume by accident, so I'm reverting that too. (The source you used is already linked to by the one I cited, so I don't think there's a need to add it separately.) Eleuther 06:45, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
