It seems like my summary got added on top of the other one somehow. I don't know if anyone wants to try to merge them... [[Special:Contributions/136.47.216.1|136.47.216.1]] 22:04, 27 October 2025 (UTC)<br />

Here are some famous state university that do not have the state in their name: Kent State U., Adams State U., Athens State U., Jacksonville State U..

If Randall really wanted that pun, might he not have made the degree in Document Doctoring? [[User:Barmar|Barmar]] ([[User talk:Barmar|talk]]) 14:57, 28 October 2025 (UTC)<br />

:Though I'm not convinced it's intended to ezsentially be a "doctorate of doctoring" (in the non-medical sense), I ''could'' see it being an oblique related-pun as suggested, or at least noteworthy that there's a happy unanticipated coincidence spotted by us.
