Conflict of dates edit

One obituary of Runemark states that he became Professor of Botany at Lund University in 1958.(Tan,K. 2014) Another states that he became Professor of Systematic Botany from 1970 to 1992 (International Lichenological Newsletter, 2015). These may be two separate titles but, pending clarification (I have emailed K.Tan in Copenhagen University), I elected to give the 1970 start date of his professorship. 1958 was just two years after a 31yr old Runemark gained his PhD, and seems somewhat too soon to be appointed professor. I have no knowledge of the subject of this article, so perhaps someone with more knowledge and access to good citations can clarify this. Parkywiki (talk) 20:50, 27 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
