Talk:Vanderbilt Peabody College of Education and Human Development

message: George Peabody donated the money, not George Foster Peabody, who was born in 1852.  Peabody College is not named for George Foster Peabody, it is named for George Peabody (1795-1869), the richer man, who established the Peabody Education Fund in 1867.

Here is text that says that the money was presented in 1867 when George Foster Peabody was only 15 years old.  Rich George Peabody (1795-1969) donated the money.

message: I've reverted a change that StatesmanVelocicaptor made to the article, which is to change the sentence reading "It was located on the site of the campus of the former Roger Williams University, a school for African American students which burned around 1906." to contain a reference to either "colored students" or "Negros".  If the school were originally called "Roger Williams University for Colored People" or something like that, then I could see why one might want to use that term instead of "African Americans".  But it wasn't, so I don't think it's appropriate to use a racially charged term when a more neutral one will suffice. Esrever 16:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  referring to students' race 

message: The history section includes the following passage:
"... but cynics noted that Peabody did have a major in physical education, a major frequently taken by scholarship athletes but one which had not been available at Vanderbilt, and was seen by many as an attempt to get players onto Vanderbilt sports teams, notably football, who were not eligible for admission to Vanderbilt."
This is uncited and reads like editorializing (as well as a derogatory comment about college athletes), not a statement of fact.  I would recommend that it be removed, unless someone can come up with one or more reliable citations to show that it is a factual reality. -- Entrybreak (talk) 16:05, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

message: Did the Peabody school ever operate as a female-only institution, therefore as a coordinate college, linked to a nearby men's school?  If so, it should be listed here:  List of coordinate colleges  Jax MN (talk) 18:17, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
