Questions/concerns[edit]
- Any possible sources for "Henry Ware Wales" the benefactor? He was apparently a student of Indologist Albrecht Weber and friend of William Dwight Whitney, also mentioned in the Tales of a Wayside Inn poem collection of the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
- Any possible text source for the "will" of Henry Ware Wales dated April 24, 1849?
- The chair was established in January 26, 1903, why not after the death of Wales in 1856?
- Charles Rockwell Lanman was elected as the inaugural holder of the Wales chair in March 23, 1903. Who were his contenders? (Also see Boden Professor of Sanskrit election, 1860). Any Possible sources for "Wales Professor of Sanskrit election, 1903"? Possible articles for the other 4 elections?
- In this blog Navaratna Rajaram says that the "Wales Professor of Sanskrit", was "previously known as the Prince of Wales Professor". True? Solomon7968 08:35, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
