Talk:Australian National University

PhB
I've removed this: 'In 2004 the ANU began offering an advanced four year science degree, The Bachelor of Philosophy (Honours), or PhB. This research focused degree is Australia's most prestigious science degree. ' from under the Science description. Both Arts and Asian Studies also offer this degree, so would require similar writeups - but it isn't really important enough to warrant front page stuff. Besides, there's already an entire page about PhB degrees in general (including those at ANU).

2018 College re-organization
It appears this page has been out of date since 2018-2019, when the ANU re-organized its College structure (see https://www.anu.edu.au/about/academic-colleges for the current arrangement). 203.217.53.198 (talk) 11:11, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Motto translation
Isn't the motto "Naturam Primum Cognoscere Rerum" a (passive) command: First learn the nature of things rather than as currently stated on the page, a rather bold statement or claim First to learn the nature of things. Cognoscere could be the infinitive "to learn" as translated here but can also be a passive command "learn", which seems to fit better to me at least.

 * Answering my own question, it comes from Lucretius and misses the verb studeat "(He/she) may study" so should be left as it is. The full phrase would there for be something like (one) may study first to learn the nature of things. Jim Killock (talk) 10:16, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
