*You removed the mention of MICDS' academic tradition and where its graduates go. Why?
*You removed the description of Ladue as an affluent place; why? The wealth of MICDS and many of its students and alumni is central to the school's identity.Bbpen 17:43, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*You've removed the sentence about the school rivalry; why?
*You've removed the description of Ladue as an affluent place; why? The wealth of MICDS and many of its students and alumni is central to the school's identity.
*You've changed:
"It was the only prep school west of the Mississippi to be listed in 1980's The Official Preppy Handbook."
to
"However, in the 1980s it may have been most famous for its listing in the The Official Preppy Handbook."
This replaces a simple declaration of facts with fewer facts and more speculation. Why? Bbpen 22:24, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Could someone supply citations for:
*"St. Louis Country Day was the only high school ever to have three alumni serving simultaneously in the United States Senate."
**Semi-done...their dates of office are on their respective pages, so its fairly trivial to find a specific citation, but I don't know about the only part. Clarkefreak ∞ 02:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm removing the part that says Mary I was the first girls' school west of the Appalachians. Sacred Heart in St Charles (there's no page; it's coed now, but that's a recent [1970s] development) was founded in 1818. Visitation Academy of St. Louis was founded in 1833, and moved to St Louis in 1844. And that's just St Louis-area. I don't even know about Chicago. Joliefille 09:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe, generally, that the claim is that Mary Institute was the first girls' school west of the Mississippi. Although that would discredit places like Chicago, I have never seen this claim being sourced. It seems like mythology to me. Jmole (talk) 18:47, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Just noticed he's listed as an alumnus of MICDS -- there's a source on the Soldan High School page that says he graduated from there. So, did he go to MICDS or Soldan? poroubalous (talk) 00:58, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
