[edit] Assess

VERY good article. Lacks references. If they were there then article would be a "B". Look at La martiniere lucknow to see what refs look like. Oh ... the name. Consider adding the location in brackets after the name to differentiate this from other BC schools in India. Victuallers 08:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Random Link?

What's with the 'Random Link' subtopic, and what does that have to do with Fermat's Last Theorem --Rejnal 03:51, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Accuracy while maintaining objectivity

The key feature of Bishop Cotton is that it is a highly prestigious school in India. It is the Eton of India, and probably the most reputable school in the whole of Bangalore. To say it is merely a school is not being accurate. To say it is presitigous convey factual truth, objectively, all the while retaining a nuetral POV. It is key word, that does much justice to the answering of the question: why is there an article on this school anyway??? THere are thousands of schools all over the world....what is so notable about this one????? THe answer is simply one word: PRESTIGE.

[edit] Colin Cowdrey

Citation required. Cowdrey left India at the age of 5 and I can find no evidence that he attended Bishop Cotton Boys School. If he did it would have been as a very young boy, and very very briefly.PaddyBriggs 09:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pettigrew house song - "Viva" or "Vivat"?

I always thought the words were: "Vivat Pettigrew" or perhaps "Vivat Pettigrew!.." Can someone please verify. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gseshadri (talk • contribs) 01:21, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
