[edit] Electric light

When was the photograph taken? People (especially rural southern Negroes) used kerosene lamps until the middle of the twentieth century. Something is amiss. The photograph appears to be one taken in the twentieth-century. Why is the photograph left undated and unidentified?

[edit] Presidents

I suggest that the list of all of the presidents of TU be added to the page: Drs. Robert Russa Moton (1915-1935), Frederick Douglass Patterson (1935-1953), Luther Hilton Foster (1953-1981) and during the current administration of Dr. Benjamin Franklin Payton , who assumed responsibility as fifth president of the University on August 1, 1981.

I agree especially since TU has only had 5 presidents in its 126 year existence ;-)LivelyIvy1908 17:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment

Shouldn't the syphilis experiment be mentioned in this article, since the university's hospital carried it out?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Pcman101 (talk • contribs) 22:25, 4 August 2007

I linked the phrase "Syphilis Study" to the proper article. It's a start! Lusanaherandraton (talk) 04:02, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
