Hall of Fame for Great Americans in New York. 101 votes cast. 51 votes needed for election. 7 people received the required 51 votes.

Description

Not sure why Alcott and Sheridan weren't elected. The votes listed are from the Official Handbook of the HOF for GA.

In the rules, the University Senate could vote down any candidate who won election, so that is what may have happened in this election, although I am not sure as to the reason why.
