Is J1 actually a chartered theme hall or simply a hall of primarily science majors? I've been told by admin. that the only themed halls at the present are Sub-Free, Involvement and HUSH. Unless J1 actually has a charter as a Joint Science Hall, it shouldn't be listed as a themed hall. Also, I don't see the relevance of explaining residence hall nomenclature (last section) in an encyclopedia. Wanted to see if you had a reason for that before I delete it.

J1 as far as I know was not an official science hall athough that could have changed. When I was there it was unoficially designated as a pre-med, pre-engineering hall. In fact some Mudd students lived there, I guess for the quiet... I was K1 and J2 before moving down to Mudd-Blaisdell at Pomona (Blaisdell side, tower). Holden rocks!
Wow, this reads like a publicity department leaflet for Pitzer. zafiroblue05 | Talk 09:43, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
Is there a way to get a better picture of the Grove House? The one currently there just show the trees and hides the Craftsman style architecture... Shirley Ku 19:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Sure, this unobstructed photo of the front of the Grove House and many others are available in the Claremont Colleges Photo Archive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.213.232.155 ( talk) 07:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
As a Pitzer Alum who served in student government, I'm personally saddened to see the amount of propaganda, factual errors, and utter lack of citations in this entry,

I removed the section on the Masculinists coalition again. Pitzer has over 150 student organizations, the coalition is only one of the most recent ones with relatively few members. Unless all of the organizations are included, I see no reason to include this coalition.
Here is the removed text: The Masculinists Coalition, an official student organization, was established to celebrate a positive male identity and is open to members of all races, religions, sexual orientations and genders. Before its official recognition in Spring of 2008, the group generated an ongoing discussion on campus, which attracted media coverage. citation needed

The phrase "highly selective" has no place in the article, least of all in the opening sentence of the lead, which is why I have removed it. It is a weasel phrase and peacock term that conveys no actual meaning than to serve as boosterism for the institution. Furthermore, no institution or publication classifies colleges as "highly" selective, so it's not even verifiable. Assert facts, not opinions and just describe the admissions numbers (number of applicants, number admitted, number matriculated, and freshmen retention) in the body of article and don't tell the reader what to think.

Someone deleted the photo I had of the Grove House. I took the photo, and while I didn't know how to tag it properly (obviously) it seems a shame to remove it. Please let me know how we can get photos back into the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.173.243.160 ( talk) 02:50, 24 April 2013 (UTC) 134.173.113.36:
I can sort of get the advertisement issue but when you are writing about a college or university, this one is not too far removed from all the others that exist.-- MattyMetalFan ( talk) 20:50, 26 September 2016 (UTC)
I propose that John R. Rodman Arboretum be merged into this article, Pitzer College. I'm not sure the arboretum on Pitzer's campus is notable by itself, and in any case, it'd be more properly discussed within the article on the college as a whole. - Sdkb ( talk) 07:32, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
The list of buildings takes up a lot of space, but much of this text is unreferenced and it is unclear whether some of the buildings have any historical or cultural significance. Simply listing names upon names of buildings is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. I propose deleting these sections if nothing changes. Melchior2006 ( talk) 09:57, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
I'm trying to set up Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens#Notable athletes to transclude. Getting List of Pomona College people#Athletes has been straightforward enough, but List of Pitzer College people doesn't currently have any athletes, and a PetScan query seems to indicate Wikipedia may not currently have any articles on notable athletes who went to Pitzer. It'd be helpful to have at least one, just to set up the transclusion system. Any possibilities that'd meet WP:NATHLETE? {{u| Sdkb}} talk 22:32, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
This is boosterism, a charming description of a grassy spot on campus. But it isn't relevant for an encyclopedia. I propose deleting it. -- Melchior2006 ( talk) 09:08, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
I saw a draft for Draft:John R. Rodman. He was affiliated with the college for over three decades. Thriley ( talk) 20:48, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
