Talk:St. Xavier's College, Mumbai

Comment

 * This page seems largely lifted from the colleges website and other informational material. Perhaps some details can be filled in such as the names of important officials and the period for which they have been holding their tenure. For instance the list of principals since the college was established. A history section can also be created. --Gautambas 11:12, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Autonomy
Please note that, in spite of what the title of the article in ToI may suggest, St. Xavier's autonomous status is not the first time a college in Mumbai has been granted such a status by UGC. HR College of Commerce, Churchgate has this honor, though they relinquished this status later due to disagreements about the conditions imposed on them. Please cf. to references for clarifications. Please feel free to discuss.Pizzadeliveryboy (talk) 19:30, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

what is "dislocation of administration"?
'The imprisonment of German Jesuit priests during the First World War led to a dislocation of the administration, which was prevented by other European Jesuits.' Does this mean "relocation"? "Dissolution"? Closing of the school? And to say something "led to" it implies it happened, which is contradicted by what follows. What does this mean? --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:01, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Picture of Joseph Michael Willi
It would be good to have a picture of Joseph Michael Willi. There is a poor-quality image on Commons (File:Joseph Willy (An-den-Toren-des-Ostens).jpg), but it is not good enough to add to this article. The picture appears to be of the frontispiece of this book: If you have access to this book then please scan the picture and post it to Wikimedia Commons. There might be a copy of the book in St. Xavier's College library. Verbcatcher (talk) 17:19, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
