Regarding Rockefeller University

As an alumnus of both Wesleyan and Rockefeller, I enjoyed reading about the recent visit to Wesleyan of Professor Nottebohm. I was dismayed, however to read in the lead paragraph that Dr. Nottebohm hails from the “Rockefeller Institute.” In fact, his home institution, founded as “The Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research” in 1901, has been known as “The Rockefeller University” for almost 50 years.
