The Time article lists Harris as 39 when he was appointed to head Tulane, which would mean he had to be born in 1897 or 1898, it does not work with his birth in 1896, we need more sources period. He was an academic leader. I am sure there is more coverage. It might not shed much on his year of birth, but it will give us more information and allow a filling out of the article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:25, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This NYT obituary [1] gives more information. If he was 91 in 1988, he would have been born in 1896 or 1897.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:27, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
