Umm, this is no doubt some sort of inside joke, but some sort of further explanation would seem to be in order: "CC athletes are also famous for their exceptional navigational skills when confronting the dubious horse latitudes of the Atlantic." 68.94.235.242 06:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
- While I'm uncertain as to the specific reference made there, "horse latitudes" refers to the subtropical high pressure zones, and attendant lack of wind, abutting the equator on either side; basically, the doldrums. Are there any noted sailors among the CC alumni base? Definitely a strange anecdote, though!LondonIce 22:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] College Seal
Could someone with more wiki skills than I poses add the CC seal to the "factbox" on the main page? I found a low res image of it at this link. A quick comparison to other colleges (CU, Swarthmore) makes it seem like this is pretty standard. -- Zolot 18:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] this wiki article smells like a puff piece
maybe someone can work in this quote from the Princeton Review:
- One student characterizes the typical student thus: "The typical Colorado College student is white and from an upper-middle-class home in a metropolitan suburb, but wishes this weren't true and acts accordingly. He or she is relatively aware politically, socially, and environmentally, and cares enough to be motivated and take advantage of what Colorado College has to offer, but won't let this interfere with his or her skiing plans." Visitors to Colorado College, another writes, will probably find "three major demographics. First and largest: outdoor enthusiasts with a little bit of hippie in them. Second: classic frat type. The Greek scene is small, but there are plenty of folks sporting American Eagle clothes and hanging out in the gyms. Third: outright hippies. This is a smaller demographic than you'd think." Many students feel like "liberals in a conservative town." Students also admit that "there is not a whole lot of diversity at Colorado College in terms of race, sexual orientation, class, or background," but add that "there are numerous clubs and groups that support all types of minorities."

[edit] Yeah, but...
Not that I disagree with the Princeton Review quote cited above, but that quote could apply equally well to any small liberal arts school in the United States. There's nothing CC-specific in there, except maybe the part about skiing.
- Still, since it is about CC, if wouldn't hurt to add it in. If we could maybe find a few more short quotes we could make a section of what people are saying about the school...

[edit] alumni
Is there a Category:Colorado College alumni? If not, why not? Chris 04:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, that answered that. :) Chris 04:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
