Not having read the book in question (or knowing anything about CJ Vaughan) I can't speak to the factual accuracy of this section, but the tone of the section is not encyclopedic. It reads more like a tell-all than it does as an encyclopedia article, and the amount of text in the section greatly overshadows the rest of this article, despite the fact that Vaughn's time at Harrow represents 15 years out of the 80 that he lived. I suggest that this section be edited for length and tone. Portions of this section could also be moved to the page for Harrow. RainbowCrane00:56, 7 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't quite agree: his own actions prevented a published biography, and the contributor has given a satisfactory and quite well-known reference. Without the usual Victorian biog it is difficult to expand it. There might be more in the Dictionary of National Biography, though that earnest work tends to concentrate on official appointments.

I just learned about all this today, while researching Vaughan from the point of view of Bible text issues. (Where more can be said about Vaughan, he has a book on Darby. And Stanley was the one who seemed to be the head of Revision committee invites.) There is no easy way to write up something like this incident, documentation arising a century later but looking rather solid, and I compliment the current Wiki section as well-done, including any possible mini-objections. I think it might be filled out more, and I am a little skeptical about this quote: "Harrow in the 1840s and 1850s had a schoolboy homosexual culture", since that could mean an incident in a year or two or the hotbed the article implied. However, I would not touch it without doing my own digging and research. Meanwhile, I added two paragraphs related to the Westcott text connection and the English Revision work.
