Talk:Hamline University/Archive 1

link formatting
Some links at the beginning were formated incorrectly. I semi-fixed them, but they have no title, and there are some duplicate links. &mdash; Cappadocian330 . Talk &mdash; 05:18, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Student Free speech controversy
If it is to be said that hamline is noted for suppression of free speech, then there needs to be citation that actually asserts this. The cited article is about a one-time incident, it can be incorporated if it can be done encyclopedically. ReverendG 14:58, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

This entry keeps getting inserted into the article in various forms. It seems clear that this violates the 'Encyclopedic Content' guideline, as well as likely violating the 'Neutral Point of View' guideline.

Origins of mascot
I would need to see a citation before I actually believe that the mascot and nickname came from Red Wing Stoneware. The nickname "Pipers" was chosen through a public poll conducted by a St. Paul newspaper long after the school relocated from Red Wing. All of the citations and printed material I have seen - including those from the school newspaper - suggest that "Pipers" is a reference to the Pied Piper of Hamelin.

Dead links
I marked a couple dead links I found. Sometimes you can "resurrect" them using this tool. Good luck in your GAN. --Eustress (talk) 15:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Midwestern Ivy League
I removed the reference to Hamline being part of a "Midwestern Ivy League." The sentence was unsourced and, frankly, ridiculous (Hamline, Drake University, and Xavier University but not the University of Chicago and Northwestern University). --Harel Newman (talk) 05:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Copypasta?
Some of the history stuff in here is remarkably similar to http://www.hamline.edu/150/6historical_hamline/university_history.html 97.127.89.229 (talk) 22:46, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Fourth Tier
Someone tried to claim Hamline University is an overall 4th tier school as ranked by US News. This is incorrect--that ranking only applies to Hamline School of Law. Hamline University comprises the College of Liberal Arts, Hamline Law School, Hamline School of Business, and various Master's programs. Overall, Hamline is ranked 9th in the Midwest in its respective overall category and is a "Tier 1" school. http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/st.-paul-mn/hamline-university-2354.

"oldest" university in Minnesota?
The University of Minnesota was incorporated in 1851, so while the Hamline website definitely does claim it is the oldest University, that doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Perhaps because the University of Minnesota was initially a prep school Hamline was the first, but it can't be the oldest. 75.72.172.109 (talk) 20:00, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

The University of Minnesota did not hold classes until 1857 and even then the courses were preparatory not collegiate. Hamline University was chartered in 1854 and held collegiate courses in 1857 (page 8). According to Merril E. Jarchow, who was a professor of history at Carleton college and recieved his Bachelors, Masters and Doctorate from the Univesity of Minnesota, Hamline is definitively the oldest institution of higher learning.

Athletic Section
The athletic section should be its own page, with team pages for Hockey and Basketball for starters as they are of note. Moonraker0022 (talk) 15:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
