Some of the data are three or four years out of date. Tom, since you know the actual current stats at Pitt State, I looked back in a few editions of the Paedagogus and found the following:
1997, 47th edition, 546
2000, 48th edition, 564
2003, 49th edition, 595
The "current" number of 552, therefore, seems to go back almost ten years.
Staff has volunteer proof readers (I'm one of them) who would have picked up on these mistakes in a second. I know because I did.
The Educational Foundation should also take advantage of the free resources available to them, because when you're asking for money, people are more likely to donate when they know you're paying attention to detail and care enough about each chapter (and each reader) to get everything right.
Anything less sends the opposite message.

No, Brother Jono, Belabor away because you have points well taken.
I have gotten an update from IHQ of Alums of LX Z and Brother Pete Cole is in the process of ciphering them out!
The last update I had was # 549 before this last one sent to me by Brother Jason Pearce.
He also asked that that any updates be done via automatic email with the update program which I continually place on LX Z Alumni emails.
I also directed him to this Site to maybe give us more information on what, and how it needs to be done and how it will be done.
Yes, it is important for us as Alumni to be able to contact our Brothers and they should be the center of information. But, of course, it also depends on the information that is input to them and if they get it done in a timely manner.
Times or important for us and all of the Brothers to keep updated in more ways than one!
Thank you for bringing this up in the first place!
