Talk:Bard College at Simon's Rock

message: I expanded the page a little, adding sections about the name and the history of the school. I'd ultimately like to make a section about the academics of the school, one about student life (no, not the office of student life, just what students do, clubs, the town, etc.), and clean up the "trivia" section (ultimately I'd like to remove that section in favor of incorporating it into other sections, like I did a little of). Of course, change things as you wish, 'cause that's what Wikipedia's about, eh? Jesuschex 01:01, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and can anyone get photos on the page? I'd put some in, but I'm by no means a photographer. Jesuschex 01:03, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Umm, i'm not quite sure of the actual dates, but i know for a fact that the science center was not completed until at least 1998, as opposed to 1996 as the article currently states.  I entered SRC as a student in the Fall of 1997 and construction had just begun on the Fisher Science Center.  Likewise, the athletic center was also completed at a later date,but i am unsure as to exactly when.  If someone who feelsa little more motivated to maintain the accuracy of Wikipedia, they may want to go back and re-check their research.  Thanks.
:Construction of the Fisher Science Center began in March 1997 and it opened for classes in January of 1998.  --FOo 20:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I've added an Academics and Athletics section and MIGHT (but probably won't) add a facilities section soon. I have removed the trivia section and incorporated it into the two new sections already mentioned. I am still looking for a good place to put this tidbit: *In 2000, Simon's Rock was rated as the second most gay-friendly college in the United States by gay.com.  A survey around that time showed that a full third of the students were not heterosexual. Bigo494 02:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe a "student life" sort of section, about what it's like to be a student at Simon's Rock. Perhaps the Events section could be incorporated into that, since it really shouldn't have its own section. Maybe Athletics could go in there too. Nice updated though.

message: Massachusetts corporate filings show that Simon's Rock was founded Sept. 15, 1964. Yes, the first class didn't enter until 1966, but do you really think a school could be founded and have its first classes in the same year? I'd imagine those first two years were taken to build the campus and get it ready for students. But the founding was definitely in 1964. http://corp.sec.state.ma.us/corp/corpsearch/CorpSearchSummary.asp?ReadFromDB=True&UpdateAllowed=&FEIN=042326584 (If that link doesn't work, go to http://corp.sec.state.ma.us/corp/corpsearch/corpsearchinput.asp and search for it.)
The point is, don't change the founding year to 1966!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jesuschex (talk • contribs) 04:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I have no personal knowledge of the school at all, but it seems unlikely to me that there is a group there called "Environmentally Conscience Students" as the article now states. Perhaps someone with better information could check that out. Tim Ross·talk 20:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I don't think "1992 Shooting" should need more lines than "Academics".  Any other opinions?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.77.112 (talk) 07:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I am concerned that a large part of the lede may have been copied from here, which has a copyright date of 1999. Might anyone be willing to help me sleuth this? Basket of Puppies 05:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

message: This article has excessive promotional content, starting from the very beginning. Out-of-date rankings are used and are very different from today's reality. Many claims do not appear to have any source at all. I would recommend taking a fresh look at this article so it is grounded in evidence instead of misleading readers into thinking that a tier 2 (bordering tier 3) school is one of the best in the nation.
