Why get rid of the science section in alumni?
I think the page has been vandalised as the "science" section for alumni has been removed entirely. FunctionalPhil (talk) 19:04, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
Michigan's link to the Prussian system of education
Can anyone verify whether the claim in a previous version of this article seen here, that Michigan "was the first U.S. modern university based on the European model" is true? The claim was uncited, so I removed it, however it seems like it was probably taken from the Prussian education system article itself, which speaks about Michigan in the United States section. The source provided there was in German, so I couldn't verify it's relevance for this article myself, and I found very few mentions of this in English sources. Regardless of the validity of the claim, I don't think it's really needed in the introduction, especially as the second sentence of the article, but if anyone here is an expert on the history of education in the United States and would like to weigh in on this, would be interested in more input.

- I remember there is in fact a very old English paper on education in America which claims this. It is in some American history journal I believe. FunctionalPhil (talk) 19:06, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
