Perhaps it is a measure of devotion to the University that his
passing happened beyond the end of the regular academic year in the
summer session.<br>

There's an actuarial science research project: Do teachers and
faculty members die in patterns statistically distinct from other
occupations? Specifically, are their dates of death more often
outside of the school term than random chance would indicate?<br>

Some U.S. Presidents -- Adams and Jefferson, both in 1826, and
Monroe, in 1831, and a near-president, William L. Marcy, in 1857,
died on the 4th of July. Other persons also died on July 4th,
perhaps indicating their devotion to the nation. Charles Kuralt, in
1997, and Jesse Helms, in 2008, come to mind. Correlation or
happenstance? <br>
