Talk:Jonathan Edwards College

message: Is this the oldest college?  That is currently claimed on the Branford College site. CoolGuy 06:12, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

message: "...and a testimony to Yale's mind-altering powers."  I deleted this phrase at the end of the Namesake section.  Any reason why that phrase was here?
:I haven't looked at it in situ, but perhaps it's an effort to give Yale the credit/blame for Jonathan's conversion. (Leland Ross, JE '76 dropout.) --Haruo 15:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I don't have the list at hand to do it (and document it) myself, but it seems to me a list of the college's Masters and Deans to date would be an appropriate companion piece to the list of illustrious alums. There is an article on Beekman Cox Cannon in the Esperanto Wikipedia... --Haruo 15:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: There are no "eleven black daggers" on that shield. The pattern of black shapes on the white/tan (argent) shield background is "ermine," and is supposed to represent that fur tincture. I would like to know if a professor within the College has already determined that they are eleven black daggers, or if they are that pattern.

The insignia section appears to be largely plagiarized from a 1957 university publication. Unless I hear objection I plan to cull some of the content in this section (excessive detail, IMO).

thread_title:  Heraldry on the shield 

message: There's a footnote in the first line of the "badge and crest" section which claims that "it recalls" is weaselly. I think the connection between apples and snakes and original sin is in the domain of common knowledge. Moreover, isn't an apple with a snake a VERY clear reference to original sin? I'm not sure how this is at all weaselly. The link between original sin and the preacher who delivered "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" isn't exactly tenuous... --Mr Bucket (talk) 04:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weasel Words? 

message: This entry sucks.  It is completely unclear what Jonathan Edwards College actually is.  It appears from a glance at the history section that maybe students take classes here.  Clicking through to the residential college link doesn't help either.  I had to go to the Yale website myself to figure out what goes on there: It's a glorified dormitory.  There, is that so hard.  I would expect some self-starting, go-getting freshman at Yale would be all over this entry.  But no.  Come on.  The link, if you actually want to learn anything about Jonathan Edwards College, which is what I'd thought I'd find by looking it up on Wikipedia, is http://www.yale.edu/admit/freshmen/residential_life/index.html

thread_title: Piss poor Wikipedia entry

message: Any JE graduates after 1954 and before 2004 can be cross-referenced with this directory of Yale's archival student records.
