For the infobox, the official school colors are red and black. According to [http://www.washjeff.edu/content.aspx?section=1363&menu_id=385&crumb=386&id=1312 W&J Graphics Standards Guide - Color Palette], the specific red is "Pantone 1807," which, according to [http://www.ackerdesign.com/acker-design-pantone-chart.html this] chart is #A03033 in hex. I guess what I 'm saying is: these are the right colors, so please don't change them. Thanks.--[[User:Jwilkinsen|Jwilkinsen]] ([[User talk:Jwilkinsen|talk]]) 19:56, 19 February 2009 (UTC) |

:I expanded the section about the log college years, so if someone wants to work on it, that's good. I plan on working on a section for each historical period (log colleges, the two academies, the pre-union colleges, the post-union colleges), and will probably spin the whole thing off into its own page "History of Washington & Jefferson College."--[[User:Jwilkinsen|Jwilkinsen]] ([[User talk:Jwilkinsen|talk]]) 06:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC) |

Intersession
I changed an edit about the 4-1-4 schedule. I don't think we can call it "unique" as I'm fairly certain at least one other college uses a similar format. "Unusual" is a better word, I think. Midnightdreary 02:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Jefferson College
If any one is interested in creating a strictly Jefferson College wiki entry let me know, as I have a biography-like document on it, as well as student directories from the 1850s. These items are part of the Phi Kappa Psi Fraternity Archives. -- ~TNT~ 15:22, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I made a few new pages. I hope they look ok. List of Washington & Jefferson College people and President of Washington & Jefferson College.
Unsource information
The following is unsourced material:
- W
&J's Old Main is home to the plaster model used to sculpt the head of Jefferson for the Jefferson Memorial.Replaced, with source. W&J was granted a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in 1937.Replaced, with source.- W&J's traditional college cheer is "Whichi Coax!"
- Library archives show that W&J's student literary society, named after Benjamin Franklin, included honorary members such as Horace Mann, John Quincy Adams, and Edgar Allan Poe.
- The doorknob used in the 1939 film "Gone With The Wind" for the front door of Tara is now a part of the library in Lazear Hall.
Coach John Heisman, of whom the Heisman Memorial Trophy Award is named after, coached at Washington and Jefferson College.Replaced, with source
While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives (talk) 06:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
- Did you consider looking for any of this yourself? I found sources for 3 of them in a couple of minutes. Niteshift36 (talk) 08:20, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
List of notable alumni is too long
This list is too long to include in the article, especially as a separate page has a longer list. I will reduce it.--Parkwells (talk) 14:16, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
