11th Alabama Infantry - College Alumni

I am preparing an article on college alumni at Gettysburg and have selected the 11th Alabama to represent a typical Confederate unit. Welcome additions or corrections to the following list. A.B. is what we now call B.A. - Bachelor of Arts degree. A company formed of Howard College (Marion, Alabama; Baptist affiliation) students evidently became Company K, and I am in the process of determining the dates of their matriculation at the college.
