Talk:Miskatonic University

message: I remember reading somewhere that Brown University may have been the priomary model for MU; has anyone else heard of this, and remember where I might have read it? It seems worth mentioning in the article if it can be substantiated. 
It might have been in L. Sprague de Camp's bio of HPL, which isn't necessarily the most reliable source, but I can;t recall for certain. FZ 18:02, 1 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a source, but it is a Haverford student news paper and nt exactly reliable. Given the fact that Lovecraft lived across the street from Brown's main campus (where he himself wanted to attend but was unable due to illnes) and that Providence was also a Mill Town with class distinctions marked by the river the Haverford connection seems speculative.User:Maunus ·ʍaunus·snunɐw· 01:16, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm skeptical about the following:
It is speculated that the word "Mis-katonic" is derived from Greek chthonic, since many of Lovecraft's monsters and gods were chthonic.
Can anyone provide a citation? (BTW: I seem to recall reading somewhere that "Miskatonic" is a Native American Indian term.)

message: This needs to be sourced.  I'm pretty familiar with HPL's biography, and have never heard anything about a girlfriend, let alone one attending Bradford.  Source, please.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.9.50.240 (talk) 03:50, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
