[edit] jesse
why is jesse (josiah) camp not on this list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.43.141 (talk) 13:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
- You may add him if you can source his connection to Loomis Chaffee. I'm not doubting that he attended, but his bio on VH1 does not include any education after High School. A source is just good form. --Bridgecross (talk) 19:57, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Distinguished Alumni list
I think it needs some trimming. Most are notable for some accomplishment, whether political, artistic, athletic, scientific, etc. But some are listed simply for holding a job or having scholarly credentials.
I am going to try trimming the list using Wikipedia:Notability_(people). Note that the standards for creative professionals are designed not to include every professor, conductor or designer working. --Bridgecross (talk) 20:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Move?
Would this page be better located at "Loomis Chaffee School"? Or is it most commonly referred to as just "Loomis Chaffee"? --zenohockey (talk) 03:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
