I removed parts of the article that were lifted from the mission statement. -- Notheruser 12:27 14 Jun 2003 (UTC)
I am not sure that LC is best known for its school of law. Sometime, I will write more about LC. (I am an LC alum.)

I don't think LC Law was the first law school in Oregon. Willamette began its lawschool in 1883.
I hate to be much of a stickler for details, but the college is pretty insistent that the "and" is an ampersand (&) and not the actual word. I work at the school and have been instructed a number of times to make sure that this is so.
Two of the many reasons why the Odell page should be merged with the main LC page: (1) "Freshies" is not an Odell-specific term, and (2) the Odell page is filled with spelling and grammatical errors that are not caught because it is such a marginal page. .... a few more reasons: Odell is small, and not justified in having its own page compared to the other halls on campus. Odell is part of Lewis and Clark. Many of the issues the Odell page mentions (co-ed bathrooms, heating, freshies, etc) are not exclusive to odell. Odell has no identity separate from Lewis & Clark. Also, the page is clearly biased toward those living in Odell; much of the information on the page is untrue and favors odell (ie, it is a favored location for returning students).
[edit] Notable People
What exactly is the criteria for being listed as a notable professor at LC? There's no doubt that everyone listed is excellent, but should a term such as "notable" be reserved only for those who are widely recognized outside the LC community? (That is not really directed at those listed now, but for possible future entries)
Along those lines, it seems to me that new pages should be made for the notable person when they are added, so that (if nothing else) others may understand why they are so "notable".
What do others think?
- If they're not notable enough to have a Wikipedia page, in most cases I don't think they should be listed. There are a couple exceptions though, since the deletionists are running rampant lately. --Liface 02:39, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
(Anon here).
There seems to be professor-crush creep on the notable list. I axed a few. Reflect on the wikipedia notability page for academics before restoring or adding new ones, please. We all like L&C, but at the rate people are going pretty soon you'll be giving L&C an award for most humble school.

[edit] Merge Proposal
The Lewis & Clark College Co-op article should be a section on this article, as opposed to a separate article. Otebig (talk) 01:01, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
