message: Regarding the motto, in the mid 1970s, the motto used on at least one college document was "We must consult Brother Jonathan." If memory serves, about that time the Trumbulletin began using the phrase "Fortune favors the bold" to introduce sports reports. By the way, Master Bob Fogelin once claimed that his family's motto was "Side pocket soft." All this explains a great deal about the character of the college in the 1970s, but exactly what, I don't know.
Regarding terminology for Potty Court Frisbee, the Yale Daily News article spells the two-point score "Grundl." It was clearly pronounced "Grendel." As far as I know, this was the only widely accepted special scoring term. Other terms, such as "blutz" for a point scored through deflection by a defender, had limited use.
Potty Court Frisbee suffered greatly from the shift in the academic calendar in the early 1970s, which took away two or three weeks of the best spring playing weather. The shift to colder days must have encouraged the practice of wearing gloves.

thread_title: Motto & Potty Court Frisbee

message: This article needs work! First, "News" doesn't belong in an encyclopedia article. I propose moving the bullet about renovation into the History section and deleting the News section. Second, the History section is a bit thin. Can anyone add material about the college in the 1940s through the 1960s? Is it true that Trumbull was once "the bursar's college," home to most of the scholarship students? Is it true that one early co-education proposal had Trumbull becoming the women's college? (Inky Clark, the college's first dean, surely did play a role in Yale admitting women.)  Third, there must be more notable alumni from the college's earlier decades. Who can do a little research and claim the glory of improving the page? Goldfish-silverfish (talk) 19:46, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: News & History

message: It might be a little confusing to readers to have old and new traditions appear side-by-side in the same section. I propose splitting College Traditions into two categories: present and past. Potty Court Frisbee and the Beer and Bike race would go into "past," perhaps along with the Trumbulletin. Also, the Trumbull Crier may deserve mention as a past tradition. And is Cornhole still a tradition? The "increasingly popular" wording has been in the article for years and must be out of date. Any reactions and insights would be welcome (But please, no original research. This is Wikipedia!). Goldfish-silverfish (talk) 20:16, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Bill Grant has moved the pages for each of the 14 Yale College residential colleges to new pages, each named "[College Name], Yale". He has done so apparently without discussion—at least without discussion on the Talk pages of Residential colleges of Yale University, Yale College, Yale University, or Ezra Stiles College. I don't think these moves are necessary, nor that "College Name, Yale" would necessarily be the best name if they were. So I've reverted the move, pending discussion at Residential colleges of Yale University. PRRfan (talk) 14:38, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with your reversions (and performed a few of them myself as well), as the new titles conflict with the guidance at WP:TITLE. --Kinu t/c 15:23, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
