Interesting life and work, on fine sources, offline source accepted AGF, no copyio obvious. Sorry I find both hooks not what would interest me about his life, and the second lacks any bold link to his name. The image is licensed and gives a good idea of not only him but his era. How about that he wasn't just some minister with many children, but founder and president of that early place for women's higher education? We women readers would prefer that ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:20, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gerda Arendt: thanks for the review. I have added ALT2 and ALT3 per your suggestions. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 16:17, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I like those better ;) I could also imagine to combine to one:

ALT2a: ... that Samuel Lander (pictured) founded in an abandoned hotel the Williamston Female College which grew into Lander University? - Good luck with the GAN! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:25, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
