Name of college

[edit]

I have changed the name of the college from which Dragonette graduated. Her obituary in The New York Times says, "She attended Georgian Court College in Lakewood, N.J., where she graduated in 1923." However, newspaper articles from the early 1920s report on her activities as a student at Mt. St. Mary's College. I first thought that she might have transferred from one college to the other, but it turns out that Mt. St. Mary's College became Georgian Court College on Oct. 1, 1924. (See this article.) The NYT obituary used the institution's later name, but she actually graduated when it was still known as Mt. St. Mary's College. Eddie Blick (talk) 20:03, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
