Dates of operation
[edit]I found many RS sources that have discrepancies in the dates of operation. The initial campus was in Jacksonville, Florida and opened in either 1915,[1] 1916,[2] or around 1904. The latest date of operation of the Jacksonville campus I saw was around 1967. In 1929, Richard Wendell Walker had moved and opened the Macon, Georgia campus (per citation).[3] I also did not see a closure date for the Macon campus. Adding notes here for further transparency in development. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 02:36, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
