So far, I've added every major source that is available on the subject. There are a few I have not added for two reasons: 1) they are shortened and edited duplicates of other, more complete sources; and two, they contain errors. One current source in the article, Visher (1947), contains at least one error in regards to the date of Light's degree at Princeton. It appears to be a typo, where the 1 in '15 was changed to a 2, making it seem like he got his MS in 1925 instead of 1915. I have therefore not relied on that source for that date.
With that said, I'm convinced there are additional, important sources in the realm of transcriptions of interviews with his former students. I have found at least one so far, an interview with Theodore Bullock, but I haven't used it because it didn't add anything new. My point is that it is safe to assume that there is a wealth of oral history material available on this subject, but it is difficult to find. I am working on making a list of his most notable students to search through any possible oral histories using those names, but in many cases, even lists of his students are difficult to find. The only list I was even able to find so far was found on the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve website, which is pretty sad, if you ask me. It shouldn't be this difficult to find information.
