Talk:Troy University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Troy University is also the name of a now defunct Methodist college founded in 1858 at Troy, New York. It failed to survive the Civil War and closed after only three years of its founding. The university building was sold St. Mary's Church of Albany in 1863. It served as home of St. Joseph's Seminary until the 1890's. The property was later sold to the Sisters of St. Joseph purchased in 1908 who established a Provincial House and Novitiate there in 1912. The property was purchased by Rensselaer in 1958. The building was razed in 1969 and the Folsom Library was constructed on the site in 1976. Besselfunctions 15:14, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Name change
The name change is immediate, but the university is in transition on all materials. From an article[1] on the change:
Chancellor Hawkins said the new name will go into immediate use, but there won't be a wholesale transition on the campuses. "We will begin immediately using the new name when and where we can in order to make a smooth transition over the next year," he said. "But we will not make wholesale changes to items that carry the current name until it is time to replace or reorder."

[edit] Links
I suggest removing the link to the Dothan Campus; the main campus website has links to the extended campuses prominently displayed. Also, it's more consistent with Troy's new identity as one unified school with multiple physical campuses. Otherwise, the other separate campuses should be added. --DesScorp 02:34, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
