Talk:Wabash College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

One further note about the reference to Ezra Pound: To say that "Wabash faculty has included such influential intellectuals as poet Ezra Pound" is extremely misleading, implying that he was then the "influential intellectual" that he later became.

Re my previous comment: Hemingway's reference to Wabash, of which he had heard from Pound, is clearly, in context, ironic in-group humor. Why not delete all the puffery in this article?

In view of the abbreviated service of Ezra Pound at Wabash and the circumstances leading to his premature departure, as well as his later derogatory comments about his service there, perhaps the reference to him should be deleted. The only significance to EP's brief stay at Wabash is that he was forced out, leading him to the path that would make him the Pound who is significant.

This actually does seem signficant, although not in the way the original article made it seem. His being thrown out (and subsequent disillusionment ith academia) did, as you said, lead him to the "signficiant Pound." That seems, to me, to merit inclusion. 69.219.228.213

This article is far from neutral, it should be edited. to increase neutrality.

It is overly hagiographical, and the mission statement almost seems as if it were lifted from the school website. --Jpbrenna 21:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

What about St. John's University? Does that not count as an all-male liberal arts institution? --Cliedl 22:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Academics and Mission

Most of this section has been pasted verbatim from the link that follows it. Official Wabash POV should be removed and the link left in place; an objective description of Wabash curriculum should be interpolated. Josh a brewer 17:24, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
