==Founding Date== 
 I've watched this page bounce around over the last 2 weeks from very different versions of the history.  I recognize the strong attachment to the 1634 version of events, and the desire that this should be noted, and while I think my school is better than those which happen to be older in America than it, I don't feel the need to pretend that it is something which it is not.  1789 is the date the school wants, it's what they announce, it's what's in the other encyclopedias, and it's what needs to be in this one. 
 What could be noted is that the date was considered to be 1788 until the 1840 yearbook, when it for no good reason was misprinted.  However, since the university has chosen to recognize the date of the land deed as its foundation, and not of the slightly early chartering, as is more commonly the case, the page should reflect this. 
 I moved the 1643 information to a separate page, currently "Founding of Georgetown University", and will add info about the events in 1789 tomorrow.  I hope to extend this page to a full History of Georgetown University page one day, since the history section is already lengthy without much of what it could contain.
