Talk:Mercer University School of Law

message: Mercer Law's ranking by US News and World Report is a frequent source of discontent for alumni, faculty, and students.  The university's undergraduate programs are consistently ranked among the best in the nation (among the top 10 in the South), but the law school lags in the middle to lower end of the rankings.  Mercer has one of the largest law school endowments, high bar passage and job placement rates, small classes with selective admissions, and a long list of distinguished alumni.  US News and World Report ranks the legal writing program among the best in the nation (top 3 since 2006) so one would think the overall ranking would be higher.   
Mercer's location in Macon, an hour drive south of Atlanta, is perceived by some as a disadvantage as is the university's lack of a football program, which would draw attention to the university as a whole and to the law school.  Also, the Mercer administration has directed considerable energy and financial support in recent years to expanding the medical school (Mercer's second four-year medical school opened in 2008 in Savannah), opening of the music school in 2006, and adding PhD level programs in several of university's colleges and schools.  Administrators have not directed similar attention to the law school, which is surprising given that university president William D. Underwood is an attorney.  Overall, it seems the administration is content with the law school's low ranking and its niche as a choice for students not admitted to higher ranked schools.
Mercer deserves a higher ranking, but location in a small Southern city and an administration focused on other parts of the university keeps the ranking artifically low.
UPDATE:  (20 February 2014) The above remains true -- Mercer continues to devote extraordinary attention to its medical/health programs; such programs, however, are the future of higher education (the population is getting older and Georgia is underserved in terms of medical education) -- logically a good position for Mercer's new academic Health Sciences Center (medicine, nursing, pharmacy, health professions).  
With that said, here are some facts that deserve mention:  
1) the current Governor of Georgia, Nathan Deal, is a double Mercer graduate (undergraduate and law school); 
2) Mercer has reinstated intercollegiate football (the team was 10-2 in its first season (2013) as a member of the Pioneer League, the win-loss record set an NCAA Division I record for a new program); 
3) Mercer will move to the Southern Conference in 2014; and
4) Mercer University Stadium, new construction near I-75, includes the Homer and Ruth Drake Field House (Judge Drake was chairman of the university board of trustees, a law school alumnus, and still on the bench in Atlanta).
Good developments and good information all around..  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.94.70.209 (talk) 05:25, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Lagrange invariant

message: I'm a bit confused what the terms mean. If I am at a point (z,x) on the edge of the image surface, for example, I assume the chief-ray height is x. Is the marginal-ray height there also x (since they come into focus on the image)? Is the chief-ray angle then the angle between the chief ray and the optical axis? Is the marginal-ray angle the angle with the optical axis or with the chief ray? Also, I'm inclined to see nu\overline{y} as the chief-ray height times the NA since nu \approx n \sin u. Is that the right intuition? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 14:54, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

I put them in for balance, and to "set expectations", though I can understand where you/Wikipedia are coming from, especially when the comments could very well have come from one of our competitors . . . in which case (if they were unfounded), they could indeed be considered libel.  Anybody having the product in their hands, however, could very quickly verify my comments.  The product works, and accomplishes much, but it is not perfect and there is a non-monetary cost associated with the benefits.
