Wasn't SHC originally a high school? If so, when did it become a college? And the Jimmy Buffett thing really doesn't apply to the college. Maybe if there were a separate thing for St. Joseph's, and in a decade, maybe that will be feasible, but for now, it really doesn't fit. 68.63.58.122 08:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

spring hill was founded in 1830, however it was officially recognized as a college in 1836.

Did Jimmy Buffet attend SHC or did he just get married there? DavidMendoza 18:03, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] removed section about Wikipedians

I've removed the section "Spring Hill Wiki Contributors" because it doesn't fit our encyclopedic style. You may want to create a user category for yourselves, like Category:Wikipedians from Spring Hill College. This is the usual way to organize groups of Wikipedia users. Thanks!

I stumbled across this and thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Jimmy Buffett was indeed a student at SHC (I'm pretty sure you have to have been to get married at St Joseph's (at least one of you has to have gone there)).


[edit] Pictures

Can someone take pictures of the chapel, avenue of the oaks, and other landmarks? We need free images to use on this page. — Eric Herboso 19:22, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll snap some next time I'm in Mobile. Would have done so earlier had I seen the request. Sorry.  :-) /Blaxthos 14:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] When

Paul Morphy graduated in the Spring of 1855 at 18 years of age.

This is ambiguous - did he gradutate in September, October or November? This would be clearer if it gave a more precise date, or a month name. "Spring" is a local season, not a universal time, and should not be used as a universal description of the time. --B.d.mills 07:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

  1. Spring consists of March, April, and May.
  2. "Spring" is one of two possible times to graduate -- the other is "Fall". The actual month is of no consequence -- there is only one spring commencement per year. Has nothing to do with the season.

[edit] Oswald speech date

I was double checking an edit a user gave in changing the date of Oswald's speech at SHC from '62 to '63, to make sure it wasn't just vandalism, since no sources were given. I found [1] which verifies the speech was on 27 July 1963, so the change is correct. Interestingly, that page also includes info on what he talked about during the speech. — Eric Herboso 19:58, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
