• Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't get the hook at all. Is there something I'm missing? Yoninah (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

• Yoninah, I meant it to be pretty straightforward. His last name and alma mater are the same. The university was named after one of his ancestors. I thought it was quirky enough for a hook. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:22, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

• Right, I figured one of his ancestors was a founder. Oh well, who am I to complain? Restoring tick. Yoninah (talk) 23:30, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
