[edit] Pics
We need some pictures of the building projects. Can anyone gather these up? Also, other good original pics would be great. Pat 06:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notable/Famous grads or faculty.
It seems that there have been a decent amount of edits adding people to the notable grads or faculty sections. While there are many great people who have graduated from SLU and are doing or have done wonderful things, they don't all qualify as notable or famous. I am trying to be selective in adding to these lists and I have deleted a few people who really are not all that important. A few criteria: If they have their own, well-referenced wikpedia page that passes wikipedia notability guidelines, then they should always be added to this list. Otherwise, if added, I'll be checking what they've written, look for articles about them, look up company websites, etc. to assess whether they belong. If its obvious they don't, I'll take them off. I am open to compromise. If I delete someone you think belongs on these lists, please come here and explain. --Jdcaust (talk) 17:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] High School
I took out this sentence because it is inaccurate since DuBourg Hall was not built until 1889 -- more than 70 years after the school founding. If I can find what was meant, I will put it back. If not somebody else should change the word to include it if you want it in the article:
- The high school, which was founded along with it, was originally located in DuBourg Hall on the SLU campus but moved to its own campus in the 1920s.

[edit] Known as "The U??"
I have been a student at SLU for four years and have never heard it called "The U." If someone said that, I would naturally think they were talking about Washington University or Mizzou. Everyone at Saint Louis University refers to it as SLU - not read letter by letter but pronounced as "slew" - as in "David slew Goliath." I don't feel qualified to change it, as I do not have any real citation, but it is not cited either and the fact is that it is just made up. Could someone with more time on their hands look into this, determine that it is called SLU (again pronounced as slew) and change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.134.208.22 (talk) 08:12, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've never heard this term either and there is no way it's in common usage. I've purged its inclusion, barring proper citation. Evolauxia (talk) 08:41, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- never heard of it either, if it is used it must be used in a very small group of students.--Bhockey10 (talk) 15:25, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
