I merged the text from Augustana College -- Sioux Falls to this one, as this is the somewhat older article and the other title is untypical with its double hyphen. Perhaps this article should be at Augustana College (Sioux Falls, South Dakota), and the other at Augustana College (Rock Island, Illinois), as in the ELCA-box? Or perhaps the towns (Sioux Falls and Rock Island) in parantheses, without the states, are actually both enough and better to distinguish them (Augustana College (Sioux Falls) and Augustana College (Rock Island), respectively)? / up+land 07:10, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hi, that sounds good. I was actually the one that contributed some to the Augustana South Dakota article and gave the Sioux Falls title. Thinking about it I agree with your decision to merge them under the title Augustana (South Dakota). Probably leaving the titles by the state names would be the best idea. Thanks for your help.

OK, we'll leave them as they are for now. / up+land 08:43, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Why do we insist on the BNi thing? We mention none of the other things Augie does. It seems like the BNI people are a bit egotistical.

[edit] Infobox picture

Any chance of replacing that infobox picture with a pic of something that's actually on the campus? ObtuseAngle 19:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

That's what I came here to say as well. The picture is of the falls on the Sioux River, which are the city's namesake but are not remotely near campus. I find it misleading to have that picture under what some may interpret as a caption reading Augustana College. I couldn't find any publicity photos on the website, so I have emailed Admissions for directions to such or permission to use the photo on this page: [1]. I will make the change once I have their authorization. --Mwillia9 16:55, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I've taken a picture of the campus and replaced it with that of the falls. If a better one is desired, let me know what I can do. --Hubie 21:30, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
