[edit] Source for more names of defunct/renamed colleges

Yeah, that's where I got most of the info in the defunct section. I didn't include those that are simply former names of still-extant schools, or those that merged into other schools, since they're not really defunct, and listing all of them would add a lot of noise to the article. Although a case could also be made that something like Bethel College should have its own article (since it has its own history, prior to the merger with Monmouth), and if it has its own article, it should be in the list.

Some of the ones I added could definitely be made into redirects to the current college. I just found one that already had its own article, though. Katr67 01:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Table sort

Is there some way to change the way it sorts the Enrollment column that currently is annoyingly like an Excel spreadsheet? Sorry, I don't know the technical terms for "actually in numerical order" vs. "alphabetized by number". Katr67 01:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind it seems to be working now... Katr67 01:56, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
