Talk:Clinton Hart Merriam

Did Merriam teach at Harvard?
I removed the unsourced sentence about Merriam teaching at Harvard. Searching the web yields a number of references to this, but biographical text seems to neglect mentioning it. The book "Anthropology at Harvard" by David Browman and Steven Williams seems to neglect mentioning Merriam as well, except for naming professors who instructed Merriam, such as at his summer biological field school at Woods Hole, as well as naming him in contexts of the expeditions he had been on. Given the lack of supporting evidence, I think it would be best to avoid potentially spreading a false rumor. However, I would be deeply curious if anyone does know if Merriam taught at Harvard, as well as when and what he taught!

It seems Merriam, while head of the US Biological Survey, offered instruction to summer fields courses, such as the 1902 Summer School of the South. It is perhaps in this manner in which he is attributed to teaching for Harvard, in what is usually described as "briefly." I am still looking into the matter, slowly, but am considering removing the category of Harvard Faculty.

Bullets in Reference section
Hello, the bullets in the reference section look like they were meant to be in a different section. I would place them in Bibliography section, as, to my knowledge, that would be better. If the list hold place in a different section, feel free to correct me. Thanks! :) Simranpreet singh (talk) 16:50, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
