From Macdonell (1901); Student (1908); Census of Ireland (1911); Lane-Claypon (1912); Fisher (1915); Hanley, Julien, and Moodie (2008), etc.
This note shares 20th century and 21st century instances where Student's real surname was misspelled by his immediate boss, his employer, Significance Magazine, a state-run genealogy website and---most recently---the National Archives of Ireland. It also provides a photo of the commemorative plaque whose wording drew some critical scrutiny, along with pictorial evidence that led one author to suggest why he chose the pen-name 'Student.'
Height and finger-length data gathered by Macdonell (1901), and used by Student (1908):
'The method introduced by "Student" is applicable for small number of observations.' (p46).
