Oldest College
I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but St. Louis University in St. Louis, MO, founded in 1818, is the oldest college west of the Mississippi River. Iowa Wesleyan was not founded until 30 years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.242.64.162 (talk) 22:00, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
I would argue that "West of the Mississippi River" likely means west of the state of Missouri, or west of the Mississippi at its most western point. Or perhaps, just in that part of the country we call "the West." Or in other words, it's a quick and easy reference to indicated something past the Midwest. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jrobertrobinson (talk • contribs) 05:26, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Be factual
What is a "successful presidency?" It would be preferable to list the major accomplishments of the previous president. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.35.170 (talk) 18:37, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
