Talk:Quintin Johnstone

Justus S. Hotchkiss Professor Emeritus of Law
Does the title of the professorship include "emeritus"? It would be a bit strange, but it's possible. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 08:29, 24 June 2023 (UTC)


 * See the Yale Alumni and UChicago source — both include the term, and most of the other sources include it aswell. It didn't originally have the Emeritus tag on it — that was added when Johnstone became an emeritus professor, so they just added it onto the title. GuardianH (talk) 18:19, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the background info. The formulation is a bit strange, then. To say he "served as emeritus" is a contradiction, since an emeritus no longer serves (emeritus = retired). -- Melchior2006 (talk) 19:08, 24 June 2023 (UTC)
