Dueling sources

The Frederick J. Pack Papers homepage at University of Utah says he was a professor of geology and minerology at Brigham Young University. Another editor has provided a source (LDS Biographical Encyclopedia) which says it was at Brigham Young College in Logan. Personally, I'd trust the University of Utah biographical information over the privately-published LDS Biographical Encyclopedia any day of the week. I suggest we look for a third source to "break the tie" so it can be resolved. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:20, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

I just noticed the alternate University of Utah biography for the photograph collection confirms that it is the one in Logan. Problem solved. Good Ol’factory ^(talk) 22:22, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
