message: *eh, since when is MHC's campus 2,000 acres??  last i checked it was just over 800.  I won't change it until I get a precise figure, but I'm certain it's not 2,000 acres.
::And yeah, anonymous poster, the campus is 800 acres. The 2000 acres may be referring to the complete property holdings of the college which include many faculty housing properties, The Orchards golf course, the shopping and dining complex across College Street, and most likely many more developed and undeveloped properties. The 2000 acre figure may be correct as well, in a larger sense.

replies: text:  Most of these colleges and universities have large holdings of both  stock and securities as well as property. I remember the protests to force MHC to divest itself of it's apartheid-era South African-related holdings back in the '80s, which they ultimately did, and started a trend amongst elite private colleges and universities to do the same. It's an interesting issue, and maybe worth noting in the article? Coolshoes 16:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Ok so I know MHC has TONS of very unique and special songs and traditions, and even the occasional legend.  I added the drinking song - please someone add the alma mater if you know it!  Also mayday, canoe sing, etc, should all get a mention!  Cheers, --Xiu Xiu 15:57, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I was pretty sure m&c's was short for milk and crackers originally, not milk and cookies....can anyone confirm it one or another?
===Milk 'n' Crackers===
:In her 1977 play about MHC, Uncommon Women and Others, alumna Wendy Wasserstein referred to m&c's in the following manner:
::Susie: That's right: it's your elf who's been leaving candy in your mail and napkin box, and all the other treats, and she'll fix you up on the weekend, and that's real neat. It's fun to see the girls at tea, and Milk 'n' Crackers too, and try to guess which one belongs to you...Fall teas are such fun when she brings apricot brandy. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, real yum! But Milk 'n' Crackers is neat too. (Act 1, Scene 5). -Classicfilms 03:16, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: There are now shorter URLs for linking to news articles on the MHC site, removing all of the database tags (node, portal_id, etc.). The short link appears at the end of the article. -- Bdenneen 21:21, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Linking to MHC News Articles

message: I expanded the Academics section and moved it to the top.  Wikipedia article guidelines say "sections may be expanded, customized, or moved depending on need and type of institution." Because the article is about an educational institution, it is logical that information about academics come first.
Information about athletics was cut in a previous edit.  I restored it with current information about MHC athletics.

replies: text: Thanks for all the work you are doing on this article.  Regarding the section order, college and university articles follow the article structure guidelines in WP:UNIGUIDE (the article you quoted).  This structure puts the history as the first section.  You will find that order on almost all educational institutions, and Mount Holyoke College should follow this structure, too.  Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 18:12, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

text: Thank you for the heads up on those other articles.  I'll check those out sometime in the future to bring some consistency among university articles by following the Wikiproject guidelines. Alanraywiki (talk) 20:52, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
