[edit] Redirects

I've proposed a change of use for the Magdalen College and Magdalene College pages (currently disambiguation pages) over at Talk:Magdalen College, but it's not yet attracted any comment either for or against. Any thoughts? TSP 17:17, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I'd agree with that. User:sgd

[edit] Pronounciation

Surely it should be pronounced Mag-de-lene, not Maudlin. I think this is the official pronouniciation


Definitely the "Maud-lin" pronunciation is correct.

Yep, "Maud-lin" is the correct pronunciation for both Magdalene College, Cambridge and Magdalen College, Oxford. Having been to both Magdalen College School, Oxford and Magdalene College, Cambridge, I think I'm in a pretty good position to verify this :-) Jetekus 13:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Latin?

Correct me, please, but I don't think Garde ta foy is Latin. In fact, I'm sure of it. Probably Old French. 74.105.48.21 03:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

It is indeed Old French. I'll have a go at changing it. Jetekus 19:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling

According to this talk page Magdalene was orignially spelt Magdalen - the change was made to differentiate the Cambridge and Oxford colleges for postal reasons. --128.232.235.1 21:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
