Thank you for adding Wick and the others. "Notable"s from the "over 300" that aided Merritt & Co., or more recent delegations, would benefit the entry.SLY111 19:44, 14 May 2007 (UTC)SLY111

That hockey guy....
Thanks for reintroducing him. Last night I thought of reclaiming him, given he was captain and leading scorer for the '68 U.S. Olympic team. The other wolves you added to the entry provided added impetus to recount as best as possible the circumstances surrounding the founding and continued thriving of "the Hall".

Granted, the alumni body refusing to seat the first Jew tapped (1957 delegation - the guy was managing editor of the YDN, and instead went to BZ) is a blemish. W.H.S. was the last society to co-educate (but, hey, I voted against co-education whenever it was on a ballot), which isn't a beauty mark on our history.

W.H.S. embodies truth and fellowship.

If W. hadn't achieved his present office, no one might give a damn about Yale societies save Yalies. Wikipedia's W.H.S. entry was so awful, I took pains to correct it, and an obsession it has become. When Mapes headed Phelps, a guy named Noyes was to write another history, a fellow up to John Andrews's THE FOUNDING of WOLF'S HEAD (this work is acknowledged as part of the Phelps archives in "References"). Nothing came of that idea, but what I studied among the Phelps Trust Association papers in Sterling was not forgotten. It's been a kick to share it, though I'm sure the leadership of Phelps and many members would wish otherwise.

My old headmaster Ink Clark would smirk, however. SLY111 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)SLY111

That Hockey Guy (Cont)
If you could share your source on John (Jack) Morrison and United States foreign policy, I'd appreciate it.

Sorry to say, I cannot find any colloboration that Morrison is of import in current American foreign policy circles; granted, my research has not been exhaustive, but I've researched the question, in light of your edit of the Wolf's Head Society entry, about the same amount of time as any other research to confirm the veracity of every fact in the entry.

Morrison's only import is in U.S. Olympic and Yale hockey history, that I can confirm, so I'm deleting the other mention in the entry.

I look forward to your response, and thanks again for your contributions.SLY111 (talk) 19:56, 2 February 2008 (UTC)SLY111
