For editors attempting to perform internet searches on this name there are a large number of hits on various permutations of Sidney Phillips Preparatory School, which was named after Dr. Phillips' father a school principal for many years in Mobile, Alabama.

Marine rank?

What was Phillips correct rank for the infobox? In his book he discussed having been reduced to the grade of private for his college training program, but he said that he would have been promoted to corporal if he'd stayed in at the time of his discharge. then there is the question of his reserve duty. What was his rank when he was going to Spring Hill College in the USMCR? Trilobitealive (talk) 00:28, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sidney Phillips Middle School

Was Sidney Phillips Middle School (now Sidney Phillips Preparatory School, one of the first magnet schools in Mobile) named for the subject of this article? I believe so, though I don't have sourcing to verify at this time. Anyone have details? //Blaxthos ( t / c ) 02:37, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No. It was named after his father, who was a popular schoolteacher before he became principal of Murphy High School. Trilobitealive (talk) 18:24, 20 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
