Talk:Brown University

If there's no citation for the info about Brown and the slave trade, the information should be removed.--Murray 13:49, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

I agree, it looks like gossip against Brown and doesn't help Conservapedia's goal of no gossip. ColinR^talk 13:51, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

Maybe it would just be easier to keep the information, and get rid of the "no gossip" goal. --Huey gunna getcha 16:06, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

Maybe it'd be easiest to keep conservapedia, and get rid of all the people who read it? --Mittromney 16:10, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

Sayles Hall

Sayles Hall is neither one of the oldest buildings on campus, nor was it built for religious purposes; it was (and is) a lecture hall, bult in 1881. A chapel, known as the "Little Chapel", was added in a side-room in 1945, and indeed is still there -- but it would be misleading to imply that the building's primary use was ever for the holding of religious services.

see the entry on the Hall in the Encyclopedia Brunoniana Boethius

Sayles was used for mandatory chapel services from 1906 to 1969, so the previous description as "where required religious services was once held" is accurate. See the Encyclopedia Brunoniana entry on "Chapel". I'll include a better description of the hall. ColemanFrancis 16:16, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

The sentence "where required religious services was once held" does not seem to me to be relevant to this story (if indeed the story is relevant). It paints a deceptive picture of the Queer Alliance partying where once solemn chaplains condcted somber services, whereas at the time Sayles handn't been used, nor had attendance been required, for 30 years or more at the time of the party.

If this page is going to be a list of criticisms of Brown, it might as well contain some valid ones. Scriabin 17:03, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
