Washington College[edit]

The article says "it was recorded that he graduated from both Kenyon College and Washington College, although neither school has a record of his attendance." He doesn't appear in Biographical and Historical Catalogue of Washington and Jefferson College (1902), which tends to confirm the source that says that no record exists at for his attendence at Washington College.--GrapedApe (talk) 02:59, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
