Talk:Floralia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The "festival" at Connecticut College has little to do with the original event, and should be considered insignificant and probably be removed. For comparison, there used to be a page about Brown University's "SexPowerGod" party, but since there are similar parties at other schools, it is not especially noteworthy. In this case, nearly every university has some sort of Spring Weekend festivities, and calling it "Floralia" or not makes no difference.

cleanup is needed. a mention of the modern party of the same name probably wouldn't be a bad thing but the sophomoric treatment it currently enjoys is too much. However, I don't know anything about either topic so I've added a cleanup tag. Jasongetsdown 19:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

First of all, I believe that it is not UConn, and is rather Connecticut College. Second, this celebration has a great amount to do with the original festival/tradition- when the school was first an all-female institution, it was started in celebration of the tradition. While it has evolved into a more "modern" college celebration, the tradition has been maintained for years, and deserves its place.

I agree that the college Floralia should be a separate page linked from this one. Alpheus (talk) 04:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 28

Many sources give April 28, not 27, as the commencement of Floralia. Alpheus (talk) 04:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
