Talk:Rhodes University

message: Removed the following from the article as I felt that it was 1) added in the wrong place and 2) is more just an "advertising" link for the Oppidan Press then an addition to the article as an whole. Possibly a section on Student newspaper activities in general would be more appropriate. also the author should think of getting a Wikipedia account.
:"In 2007, two Rhodes University undergraduate students initiated a student newspaper called The Oppidan Press. The newspaper caters to the student population alienated by the existing student newspaper."

message: Rhodes is definately not the third oldest university in South Africa. UCT, Maties, Wits (1896) and Unisa (1873) are all older than Rhodes. Both Rhodes and Kovsies (Free State) were founded in 1904. See List of universities in South Africa. That makes Rhodes either 5th, joint 5th or 6th oldest university.Purple Duke (talk) 19:17, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Was there no argument? Such as referencing his statement “ equal rights for all civilised men”? The board voted not to change the name, in any case. More info needed. 2A00:23EE:1080:70FB:95AD:7A4D:5FCA:7208 (talk) 22:06, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

message: Not sure what the Wikipedia regulations are, but would it not be better to just point to the Rhodes University alumni page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rhodes_University_alumni rather than trying to maintain a separate list on the page for Rhodes University itself?
