college/university

[edit]

Minor comment from a non-expert. The lead mentions MacDonald as a chain in Dalhousie College. However, the body mentions his leaving the university money. While Dalhousie is not the topic of this article, perhaps it could be re-worded to note when Dalhousie became a university. As it reads now what university is ambiguous to someone unfamiliar with MacDonald or Dalhousie. I am not going to edit this myself as I am not sure I have the facts correct, or know enough detail to clarify this. Dbsseven (talk) 16:38, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dbsseven, great point. The sourcing refers to it as College, but our article on Dalhousie says the school added "and university" to its title in 1863. It didn't fully change its name though until 1997. To clear it up, it might be better to just refer to it as "Dalhousie" in that section. TonyBallioni (talk) 17:07, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
