Why was anastasia Ivanova removed? Also, why was this change not noted and discussed in the editing talk. I will revoke the change because anastasia Ivanoca has gained some infamy among the school's student population and is therefore noteworthy. - nov 12 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.237.232.183 (talk) 03:31, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can anyone add to my list of distinguished alumni? Right now it's pretty poor. --Shabs9180 19:11, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I went there. Nobody else famous comes to mind. --StLemur 22:06, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

jesse[edit]

why is jesse (josiah) camp not on this list —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.151.43.141 (talk) 13:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You may add him if you can source his connection to Loomis Chaffee. I'm not doubting that he attended, but his bio on VH1 does not include any education after High School. A source is just good form. --Bridgecross (talk) 19:57, 26 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Distinguished Alumni list[edit]

I think it needs some trimming. Most are notable for some accomplishment, whether political, artistic, athletic, scientific, etc. But some are listed simply for holding a job or having scholarly credentials.
I am going to try trimming the list using Wikipedia:Notability_(people). Note that the standards for creative professionals are designed not to include every professor, conductor or designer working. --Bridgecross (talk) 20:26, 26 December 2007 (UTC) Why are there two lists of distinguished alumni? The one at the beginning seems unnecessary at best, confusing at worst. I would like to remove it - any objections? AlexFeldman (talk) 20:46, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

There are 2 lists as the top gives priority to some of the more notable alumns, while the bottom shows the range of the alumni. The Loomis Chaffee communications/alumni office would prefer to not have this changed- and would prefer to not have anyone removed at this time. Thank you!Loomischaffee (talk) 12:20, 8 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Move?[edit]

Would this page be better located at "Loomis Chaffee School"? Or is it most commonly referred to as just "Loomis Chaffee"? --zenohockey (talk) 03:48, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Loomis Chaffee _SCHOOL_[edit]

I have changed the title of this article from Loomis Chaffee (so that that's now a redirect page) to Loomis Chaffee School.

Do I need to explain the obvious fact that the former title was lunacy? Yes, one calls it "Loomis Chaffee" and one lets the third word be understood. One speaks of M.I.T. instead of spelling out what the letters stand for. But should this be the only school for which the title of the article is the abbreviated form?

There are lots of links to Loomis Chaffee. I've cleaned up some of those. Can other help with the rest? Michael Hardy (talk) 05:22, 12 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Establishment[edit]

Hi. In looking at the history, while the school was chartered in 1874, it really wasn't established until 1914. Currently the infobox reflects this, but the categories have the older date. You can't really say it was established at the earlier date, since it wasn't in operation. I'm going to make the necessary edits so that the article's dates all agree.
