"Belmont's nationally-renowned music business program is the only one of its kind, though comparable programs can be found elsewhere. - This could use some explanation, as is it sounds contradictory 160.39.190.180 22:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Who is Dr. Larry Hall? Is he notable in some way that other professors at Belmont are not? Does his erudition or accomplisment in political science indicate the creation of an article describing is achievements? --Chiacomo 06:10, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- Went ahead and removed Dr. Hall as no one seemed to volunteer information. He appears to be no more notable than any other professor at Belmont. --Chiacomo 04:59, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This is a very poor description of Belmont. Historically it makes many false assertions, and it makes Belmont sound as if it only offers music related programs. As for Larry Hall, he is the dean of the college of arts and sciences.
- Thanks for your edits of this article! The best fix for false assertions and narrowly focused articles is for editors to be bold! I would argue, however, that if Minnie Pearl graduated from Ward-Belmont, a predecessor to Belmont University, she could be considered a Belmont alum... I believe Ward-Belmont alumni can request a diploma with "Belmont University" on them so the distinction is probably pretty trivial. --Chiacomo (talk) 30 June 2005 03:54 (UTC)
- Ward-Belmont College is more properly considered a predecessor to Harpeth Hall School than it is Belmont Univeristy. Ward-Belmont and Bellmont largely have two commonalities: Belmont is located on the site of the former Ward-Belmont campus, and both were/are educational institutions. Ward-Belmont was more of a finishing school for young ladies than a true institution of higher learning in the modern sense. So I think that the differentiation is more than trivial.

- In the same way, it is misleading to say that Belmont started in 1890. That's when Ward-Belmont started. The modern, current institution started in 1951.

So who's excited about the new nursing building? I just went to the open house for it and can't wait to be using the facility! Perhaps someone can offer up more information than I have about the school--it's history before the new building (I believe our guide said that they had been in the basement of a church priorly with their labs in trailors!]. If I'm accepted this fall, I'll be able to contribute a lot more, but if anyone has any information besides sports and entertainment, it'd be great to add! .:Allie
[edit] Mascots
The List of U.S. college mascots references that there's a live bear mascot named Bruin. I don't see any mention of him/her in the article. Can somebody confirm? —C.Fred (talk) 02:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
