 * Symbol question.svg Chris troutman, While I could verify "the first mayor of Palm Springs, California", I could not find the fact "the Philip L. Boyd Deep Canyon Desert Research Center is named for Philip L. Boyd" stated explicitly in the articles with a inline citation. Redtigerxyz Talk 09:43, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It says in the article about Boyd "The acquired lands were named after Boyd in 1961." It's cited to the University Bulletin. I clarified the wording on the other article, which was already sourced to El Paisano. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 16:01, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
