Although he was an academic,  (as suggested by the focus on how high his administrative position was) isn't particularly relevant for this field and this date; it's aimed more at modern scientists. Instead we should rely on : are there in-depth reliable sources about him? We have some significant early-career coverage at https://books.google.com/books?id=hohPAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA454 and three published obituaries on him in academic journals at https://www.jstor.org/stable/3309232, https://www.jstor.org/stable/3309230, and https://www.jstor.org/stable/3309231. He also has an obituary in the ''New York Times'': http://www.nytimes.com/1944/01/21/archives/dr-wm-e-mikell-exdean-of-law-emeritus-professor-at-u-of-p-author-of.html. And (although our article doesn't say so) he was one of three editors of the independently-notable collection ''Select Essays in Anglo-American Legal History''. I think that's enough
