I'll be glad to take this review. Initial comments to follow in the next 1-3 days. Thanks in advance for your work on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:58, 10 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Initial comments

I made some small copyedits for style, a few wlinks, etc., but didn't find anything I couldn't immediately resolve myself. Please doublecheck me and feel free to revert anything you disagree with. Overall, this article is very strong and appears ripe for promotion. Well written, well sourced, and actually rather touching without breaking neutrality policies; the final quotation is an excellent touch. -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:01, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I did a little searching to be sure no main aspects were missed. Everything important appears to be covered, but I saw a few interesting details second-hand (but peer-reviewed second-hand) here:

The Open Mind: Elmer Ernest Southard, 1876-1920. by Frederick P. Gay, Roscoe Pound. Review by: Norman Fenton. American Sociological Review, Vol. 4, No. 3 (Jun., 1939), pp. 450-451

Southard was a descendant of John Alden and Miles Standish, became the youngest full professor of Harvard to date, and was also appointed to the ethics faculty. Might be worth including. -- Khazar2PDtags (talk) 13:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)Reply
