Can I temporarily delete the entire content of the article, because I know that some people will be available to provide necessary information and/or work on writing it in a few months? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.61.187.171 (talk) 22:24, 9 April 2018 (UTC) I forgot to indicate the nature/purpose of this "edit" above. It was to ask a question about what action can be taken in preparation for further editing in a few months by other volunteers.

Missing history?
I can work on adding a history section. So far, this is the first source I've found. Here's a catalog page from Rutgers before the transition — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meiravl (talk • contribs) 17:19, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

Why isn't there a section on the New Jersey College for Women, or the history of Douglass when it was the female sister school of Rutgers? It seems historically it was more than just a section of campus, which is how it's presented here. Thanks. Bruxism (talk) 23:40, 15 September 2017 (UTC) I noticed that there used to be a decade-by-decade history section, but it someone deleted it because it was too similar to something that used to be on the school's previous website and was therefore considered "promotion" material. 173.61.187.171 (talk) 00:55, 10 April 2018 (UTC)


 * It seems only right that historical should be included as at least a new section in the Douglass Residential College entry or that there should be a separate entry called Douglass College. Meirav (talk) 20:09, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
 * A historical page should be linked to Category:Former women's universities and colleges in the United States, which includes colleges that have become co-ed. The historical page should include the dates that Douglass was an active college, from 1918 to when it was renamed to 2007 when it closed. It should include the seal.

Elizabeth Ridgely Nicholas
Elizabeth Ridgely Nicholas was the daughter of Mary Lawlor and John Stuart Nicholas of New Brunswick, New Jersey. She was one of the pioneers responsible for the development of what is now known as Douglass College. She served as first Registrar-Bursar of the New Jersey College for Women (as it was known) from 1918 to 1921. She was the Dean of Students and was named an Honorary Member of the Douglass Class of 1924. Nicholas Residence Hall was built in 1960 and named for her.

Notable alumnae
See WP:College and university article advice - Noted people; where this note appears: note that "Alumni" categories are only for former students, including graduates; current students are not considered alumni. (my emphasis) It is the accepted practice in school, college and university article 'Notable alumni/alumnae' sections to include any notable former attendee regardless of whether they graduated or not.
