[edit] Balliol ownership of land

We need some sort of citation for the claim that Balliol owns the land on which Trinity stands, otherwise it might just have been added by some rivalrous Balliol student.86.134.62.132 21:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arthur Quiller-Couch

Is there any point in mentioning Q's famous dedication, "To the President Fellows and Scholars of Trinity College Oxford A House of Learning Ancient Liberal Humane And My Most Kindly Nurse"? It is noteworthy for its being widely known, indicating the esteem in which he held Trinity, and perhaps now sounding a little pompous.--AlexanderLondon 15:18, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] College templates

I have created a series of templates for former students of Oxford's various colleges. There are still plenty to do, but if you want to add one of the templates to your user page then feel free. See Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/United Kingdom/University of Oxford for complete list. Please contact me if you would like another college fast-tracked...

[edit] College name

Is the full name "The College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity in the University of Oxford, of the foundation of Thomas Pope" as in the opening paragraph, or "The College of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity and Sir Thomas Pope (Knight)" as in the infobox?

The former is referenced to a book [1] while the latter has no citation attached. Is one of these more correct than the other, or are they both valid? Either way it's a little confusing to have two different versions without explanation! --Casper Gutman 09:50, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Changed infobox to match lead, purely because that version had a citation. --Casper Gutman 16:13, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
