Talk:Marlboro College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ACCURACY:
Two different dates are mentioned for the college's founding date. In the first paragraph, 1948 is mentioned, while in the second, 1946.

The official site, like the article now, has 1946 as the date. I'll remove the disputed accuracy tags. By the way, does anyone know where the college's name comes from? Was Marlboro a heavy sponsor? Did the GIs name it such for a love of the cigarettes? I, for one, would be interested to know. --BDD 00:58, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
The name of the college comes from the town of Marlboro, Vermont where the college is located.--Sweetpond 18:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Note: the word "Alumni" refers to male and female former students of an educational institution, not just graduates. 129.55.27.4 21:52, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
I hate to mention this, because the website doesn't bring it up, but: not all freshman take Designated Writing courses. Some take writing seminars instead, which give much more in-depth study of how to write well, while designated writing courses expect you to be good at it already and just assign a lot of papers...personal knowledge of the system here at Marlboro.

David Mamet not listed on website as current faculty (not to mention, he's just not here--easy to tell with only 30 or so professors on campus); maybe subject heading should be "Famous Former Professors"? User:Snyrt
It might also be a good idea to remove the link to googlemaps satelite image; since the state of VT doesn't pay for satelite maps, all you get at that lmagnification is a notification that they don't have a map...for that matter, all the satelite maps say the same thing. 206.192.68.116Snyrt
You know, for the longest time, I'd noticed that as well, though, as of today, this appears to have been rectified. I'm supposing that the state of Vermont now does pay for this imagery?
