No QPQ, but seems this is the users fifth DYK so that's OK. (Next DYK will requre a QPQ). Article is new and long enough and in-line sourced with online sources. I didn't detect any copyvio/close paraphrasing problems via spotchecks nor other policy problems. Hook is sourced and within the 200 characters limit. Photo is in public domain per government employee. The fact is pretty CV-like, so maybe not all that catchy, but I don't think we shall waste time on getting another. As for the sentence "Morehouse is the only college in the United States whose focus is male, single-gender higher education for African Americans", I read the sentence to specify "liberal arts institution". But that's a minor thing, so I believe article is good to go. Iselilja (talk) 19:57, 13 April 2014 (UTC)
