[edit] Oldest in Australia?

I wrote that Melbourne had the oldest law school because of this quote on the University website:

"Melbourne Law School is Australia’s oldest Law School with law first taught at the University of Melbourne in 1857." [1]

However this quote appears on USyd's page:

"Inaugurated in 1855, Sydney Law School is Australia's first." [2]

Is there some subtle distinction between 'first' and 'oldest' that I am not aware of? For now I think I will make the language a little more neutral: 'one of the oldest'. --Shazdor 23:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] POV

The neutrality of a page is not disputed just because you put an NPOV tag on it. Some discussion/justification is needed. On this basis I will remove the tag until some actual dispute exists. Shazdor 12:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
