[edit] Name
Troy University is also the name of a now defunct Methodist college founded in 1858 at Troy, New York. It failed to survive the Civil War and closed after only three years of its founding. The university building was sold St. Mary's Church of Albany in 1863. It served as home of St. Joseph's Seminary until the 1890's. The property was later sold to the Sisters of St. Joseph purchased in 1908 who established a Provincial House and Novitiate there in 1912. The property was purchased by Rensselaer in 1958. The building was razed in 1969 and the Folsom Library was constructed on the site in 1976. Besselfunctions 15:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name change
The name change is immediate, but the university is in transition on all materials. From an article[1] on the change:
Chancellor Hawkins said the new name will go into immediate use, but there won't be a wholesale transition on the campuses. "We will begin immediately using the new name when and where we can in order to make a smooth transition over the next year," he said. "But we will not make wholesale changes to items that carry the current name until it is time to replace or reorder."

[edit] Campuses
Could someone add a list of the numerous campus sites that Troy has? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.1.35.183 (talk) 20:40, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Links
I suggest removing the link to the Dothan Campus; the main campus website has links to the extended campuses prominently displayed. Also, it's more consistent with Troy's new identity as one unified school with multiple physical campuses. Otherwise, the other separate campuses should be added. --DesScorp 02:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Troyworld.jpg
Image:Troyworld.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
