    [edit] Sperry Hall

    What is or was Sperry Hall? -mercuryboardtalk 16:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

    • it's an old U-Hall [1] --Moki80 23:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
    • It has been University Hall #6 and I have updated the article to reflect this.66.173.140.100 04:27, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

    [edit] The page looks kind of shoddy

    The page needs some enhancements to improve its overall visual scheme. Also, we need to include information about each of the individual houses, this needs to be done in a paragraph fashion--65.26.146.109 01:12, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

    The war memorial information is good, but the information is too much, we need to tone it down. I removed a lot of the information, however, I would really like for someone to create a page which concerns the Cornell War Memorial.--65.26.146.109 01:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
    Is there really enough information about the War Memorial to warrant its own page? This is where we should be including all that information. It's supposed to be a comprehensive description of West Campus. -mercuryboardtalk 01:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
    Well, there is no need for it to be on this page, since the War Memorial has little to do with residential information, however, I believe that if we try we can get a lot of information (i.e. the names of those listed). Also, we should model the West Campus page after the North Campus, since that page makes a lot more sense. This page needs to be more organized and more aesthetically appealing (i.e. remove those annoying bold words everywhere).--65.26.146.109 01:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
    Although most of West Campus is residential, it doesn't mean this article should be limited to the residences. How many names are there on the War Memorial? Good idea, if it's a reasonable number. And there's just not that much to write about each of the houses and halls. If you can find enough information to make each their own section, go for it, but North Campus is just a lot of repetition. -mercuryboardtalk 01:43, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
    Agree with mercuryboard, the reason we assimilated each dorm into this article was because of the lack of information on each of the articles for each of the dorms. Also, War Memorial, if spun off as is would be about a paragraph long of a stub. I am temporarily re-adding the history of the gothics. --Moki80 05:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

    [edit] Temporary?

    Has anyone found any contemporaneous evidence that the University Halls were intended as "temporary" as opposed to permanent structures? The only authority cited was fiberglass showers, but it is not clear that the orginial showers in 1953 were made of fiberglass.
