Article is new and long enough. No concerning pings on Earwigs. Nominator is QPQ exempt. Hook is cited and short enough for DYK. Looks good to go.

- ALT1: ... that mathematics professor Henry Crapo once donated a bronze sculpture of a boar (pictured) to the University of Waterloo?
- Image is freely licensed. Still good to go per Morgan695's review. Yoninah (talk) 00:32, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
