I wrote it[edit]

I wrote the bio of Dr. Humphries that is referenced in the article Frederick S. Humphries (LAHumphries (talk) 20:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]

I wrote the bio on the website http://www.amberaward.org/Presenters/Education/tabid/667/Default.aspx/. Frederick S. Humphries is my Father, we submitted that "standard" bio of him to the above website. (LAHumphries (talk) 17:06, 12 July 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Just a wee bit overstated…[edit]

While I have no doubt that Dr. Humphries is an outstanding educator and administrator, I think that the article about him could possibly benefit somewhat if it were to be toned down a couple of notches. Sentences such as, “For sixteen years he brought to FAMU a high quality of academic leadership which was progressive, exciting, enriching, outstanding, and intellectually rewarding.” and “As a result of the astuteness and courage demonstrated in continuous conflict over desegregation at TSU, Humphries achieved a national reputation as a dedicated and brilliant fighter for the cause of the continued existence of HBCUs and opportunities for minorities.” are, perhaps, overly enthusiastic. Just saying… 206.211.166.17 (talk) 17:55, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
