Twenty-three years later, in 1665, Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck, "from the Wampanoag...did graduate from Harvard, the first Indian to do so in the colonial period".[1]
I think he was just "the first Indian to do so.[period]" The phrase 'in the colonial period' would only make sense if there was some history prior to the colonial period and therefore the citation needed qualification. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.105.72.67 ( talk) 20:46, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
I've removed this material from John Harvard because it's not really about the man but about the school. Maybe it will be of use here.

This edit [1] reflects my removal, from Harvard University, of an enormous block of text headed "student activities", giving one or two sentences on each of dozens of student groups. Aside from the drearily superlative tone (oldest, largest, premeire, oldest, largest, premeire.. OK, OK!) this material is too detailed for any kind of list-in-main-article-of-things-which-have-their-own-articles i.e. it doesn't belong here at Harvard College much less at Harvard University, but in articles on the individual groups. (A spotcheck suggests that most or all of this material is already in those articles alrady.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EEng ( talk • contribs) 19:03, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
The article still says that each House has a "Master", but I am reasonably sure they changed the title to "Head of House". Right? Source: Original research, but this was a big deal. 146.115.179.89 ( talk) 23:05, 4 September 2016 (UTC)

I'm probably going to regret this, but does anyone want to help come up with an inclusion criterion? E Eng 17:00, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
I note that Benazir Bhutto is listed as an alumna of the College in this article. She got here degree from Radcliffe in 1973. I'm not sure how this is handled what with the semi-merger of Radcliffe and Harvard in 1977. Attic Salt ( talk) 01:27, 5 October 2020 (UTC)

We've got an editor repeatedly inserting a standalone section on the recent admissions ruling [4]. There's no more reason to include this than any of literally hundreds of important cases Harvard's been involved with over the centuries, and the ruling reflects more on the Supreme Court and its justices than it does on Harvard, which just happened to be the defendant. If we want to start highlighting legal cases with long-term consequences, we should probably start with The Charity of Edward Hopkins and Sacco and Vanzetti. E Eng 08:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

Was viewing the list of notable alumni and noticed the names of former US Presidents: two Adams, two Roosevelts, one Kennedy and what jumped out in a most glaring fashion was the absence of the name Obama. Dante02128 ( talk) 18:37, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Per the discussion at Talk:Harvard_University/Archive_9#Former_name_"New_College"?, and in particular the complete lack of evidence in the fundamental works on Harvard history and the definitive counter-statement at [5], I've again removed the nonsense about the college having been originally named "New College". Unsourced offhand statements in nonspecialist sources don't rate. E Eng 23:30, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
