Looks like there are many different Wesleyan Universities lumped into one?

Oh you think it is an error in that the algorithm was not able to tell them apart from "the" Wesleyan?

As a Wesleyan alumn I was very surprised to see it so high, but I think it's likely a scraping error—searching for "Wesleyan University" shows many hits for Ohio Wesleyan, Kentucky Wesleyan, Texas Wesleyan, and so forth.
