Well, a look at the similar position for University of Maryland
College Park shows that the only  substantial articles are on a Civil
War general and on Mote, who not surprisingly is the incumbent. There
is a common assumption that anyone in a titled position is therefore
notable, but the truth is that most of these people are, historically,
names on a list.
