From the archives of Time: my father and grandfather

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

I’ve been meaning to write a wikipedia page for my paternal grandfather, Dr. Ernest Cadman Colwell, who had the scholarly credentials to merit such a page. He was president of the University of Chicago, author of several books, discoverer of “Colwell’s Rule” of Greek New Testament grammar, and first president of the Clarement School of Theology. While searching for some material on line for an eventual wikipedia page, I found this one-sentence entry in Time magazine from 1945.
