Society Members[edit]

The article currently says the university has beenb affiliated with "ten fellows in both American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the Royal Society." First, it's unclear if that means 10 people who were in both societies or 10 in each. More importantly though, that claim is without a referance and I have no idea how to verify that short of checking every inductee of these societes for the last hundered odd years.
