Talk:Deep Springs College

message: The board of trustees of Deep Springs College just voted to begin admitting women.  The trustees have advised that women may join the student body as soon as the summer of 2013, depending upon how the transition goes.  The trustees have further advised that details of the transition will be forthcoming over the next several months.  The vote was announced privately to alumni on September 18, 2011.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.243.36.45 (talk) 01:47, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

message: would it be appropriate to change the name to simply "Deep Springs" and have a redirect from "Deep Springs College"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.69.222.175 (talk) 23:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I moved the following text to the talk page because I didn't feel it was a proper fit on the main page. It does not read like an encyclopedia article, but rather a memoir, as the source comment says. I gladly invite someone to fix it up, preferably with proper citations, and move it back to the main page! /Jugander 00:04, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Alternate History

message: Nunn built no hydroelectric power plants, his innovation was alternating current. I'm a DS alum and I didn't go to any of those schools, and I kind of find that elitism a little offensive. I think the school can stand on its own legs. Its connection to the Ivy leagues comes from a need in students to convince other that DS is prestigious. It is, but we don't need to mention institutions known for subverting meritocracy and inflating grades, to proove it.

thread_title: Corrections

message: Lotsofissues has taken issue with the claim that DS is one of the "most selective" colleges in the US.  If by "most selective" we mean "has the lowest admissions rate" (i.e., the lowest ratio of admitted students to applicants), then this statement is objective and verifiable.  This is the sense in which most people involved with college admissions would understand selectivity.  I grant that many readers might understand "most selective" in a less quantifiable sense, as meaning that admitted students are somehow the "cream of the crop."  But even by this vaguer standard, the claim that DS is one of the most selective colleges in the US is not controversial, as a Google search can readily confirm.  I can readily document that statement being made by the New York Times  (search for quote inside article), the Los Angeles Times , and the Christian Science Monitor .  Further, Deep Springs, though not a household name, is not obscure.  See, for instance: .
I should add that I have no affiliation of any kind with DS, other than having read it described as the most selective college in the US by the Princeton Review back when my older brother was applying for college (ca. 1994), and briefly thinking about applying there myself later on (which I didn't). -- Eb.hoop 08:38, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

message: minor inconsistency - article shows 27 students but then says limit is 26 ...
Based uopn my experience, the estimates for administrators, professors and staff are probably too high.  This number probably included a number of spouses, etc, who may be offered courtesy positions, but are generally unpaid.  There may also be some double-counting (the President, for example, may potentially be counted in all three categories).
Toll Station #2:  AFAIK I used this designation with some difficulty until '90 or '91,  regardless of the 872-2000 number,  and with little problem until I arrived in '89.  MCI would accept it with some wrangling;  AT&T operators generally were easier;  but MCI rates were lower.  Both companies appeared to have difficultly billing station-to-station calls to DSTS#2 until I could essentially connect with no worry of being billed.  KenThomas (talk) 08:02, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

message: Jack Newell wrote a paper on Deep Springs in a larger book on progressive education called "Maverick Colleges: Fourteen Notable Experiments in American Undergraduate Education."
Both are available on the MIT OpenCourseWare site here.
For anyone curious about DS and its place in a larger movement, reading these might be helpful.  I propose adding them to the External Links section.

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

message: The opening paragraph says that students often continue their studies at "better schools". It seems more accurate to say they continue at "bigger schools" but not necessarily better schools. What metric is being used here? Thanks. --Lbeaumont (talk) 02:20, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
