UFMG wasn´t stablished in 1965. It was created in 1927 as UMG. There´s a huge painting on the Central Library (Biblioteca Central) that features then Governor of Minas Gerais, Antônio Carlos, founding the University on Independence Day, 1927.

Besides, FUMEC announces itself as 40-year old. It´s FUMEC who belongs to 1965. UFMG is older. Doidimais Brasil 02:13, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Architecture

This section needed to be reworked to be less POV. I took the liberty of making some changes SaintCahier 01:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The information box on the right (which lists the size of the endowment, the number of undergraduate students and graduate students, etc) gives a number for how many "staff" the university has. Surely this is supposed to say "faculty"? If not, the number of faculty should definitely be added!

Does anyone mind if I delete the architecture section altogether? Someone finds the campus ugly, right, but it really is just an opinion. Maybe it could be incorporated in larger criticism section, but I don't see how it is relevant on its own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.62.176.160 (talk) 04:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
