Umm, this is no doubt some sort of inside joke, but some sort of further explanation would seem to be in order: "CC athletes are also famous for their exceptional navigational skills when confronting the dubious horse latitudes of the Atlantic." 68.94.235.242 06:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
For anyone who went to / goes to CC, I made a userbox: {{ User Colorado College}}
CC | This user is a student or alumnus of the Colorado College. |

Could someone with more wiki skills than I poses add the CC seal to the "factbox" on the main page? I found a low res image of it at this link. A quick comparison to other colleges ( CU, Swarthmore) makes it seem like this is pretty standard. -- Zolot 18:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
maybe someone can work in this quote from the Princeton Review:
gotta have "balance", ya know. 24.155.247.191 19:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Not that I disagree with the Princeton Review quote cited above, but that quote could apply equally well to any small liberal arts school in the United States. There's nothing CC-specific in there, except maybe the part about skiing.

Is there a Category:Colorado College alumni? If not, why not? Chris 04:56, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I just added those templates. Much of the article reads like an admissions brochure: exaltations about the greatness of the institution or its alumni. For example, take the following paragraph:
Considered one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges, Colorado College perennially ranks in the top tier of Liberal Arts Colleges in the U.S. News Rankings, most recently ranging from a high of 19th in 1999 to a low of 33rd in 2005, one of its rare appearances outside the top 30 in recent years. In a January 2004 ranking of all colleges and universities by Kiplingers magazine, it placed 31st. And in the 2006 U.S. News rankings it was 30th among Liberal Arts Colleges, and soared to 13th place in Best Values among all National Colleges.
Underlined is POV'd, and italicised needs to be cited. The next paragraph is littered with qualifiers such as "very high" and "among the nation's lowest". Try replacing vague, laudatory phrases such as these with specifics: what is the acceptance rate, yield, average SAT score, and let the facts speak for themselves. For more on this, see WP:BOOSTER.
The rest of the article has similar issues in parts. Also, virtually the entire article needs to be cited for verifiability's sake. The tags should remain in place until these issues have been adequately addressed. — DroEsperanto ( talk) 17:46, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. The Colorado College alumni list has gotten to the point that it needs to be split off into its own article. See the following colleges as examples. Thanks! Corkythehornetfan ( talk) 18:07, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
According to the America the Beautiful article, the person that wrote the lyrics for that song was teaching at this college. Seems pretty noteworthy. 98.127.119.21 ( talk) 05:48, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
I just added a couple of sentences about this. I definitely agree that this is significant! Perhaps someone with a bit more Wikipedia experience would be interested in adding more pictures of the campus? The page just looks a bit empty... KittyKallenEnthus3 ( talk) 04:16, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Fanofthepublicsphere ( talk) 18:30, 30 August 2015 (UTC)fanofthepublicspere== Update Admissions Statistics ==
Can someone who regularly contributes to the Wikipedia Colorado College page update the admission statistics for the class of 2019. I'll post the link here, and it's not clear exactly how many students were admitted, but the Admission Office ("Get to Know the Class of 2019" from August 24, 2015) is reporting 8,064 applications to the Class of 2019, with an acceptance rate of 17%, an all-time low according to this article. It seems to me that is significant and should be noted (in two places) on the CC Wikipedia page.

23:51, 14 October 2019 (UTC)The lists of trustees and board members are just silly and provide nothing to the reader. I propose we remove all but the actually notable names. And as we have List of Colorado College people, do we really need this long list of alums and faculty here? —valereee ( talk) 14:48, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
IP is edit-warring here and at List of Colorado College people over including Cole Imhoff on the list of alum because he's Kamala Harris's stepson. I'm getting too close to edit-warring, can someone else please make those reverts? If the IP reverts again we can probably ask the articles be semi'd, which maybe will get the IP to register an account so we can at least communicate more easily. —valereee ( talk) 17:23, 17 January 2021 (UTC)
An unregistered editor is insisting that this article include a detailed listing of the members of this college's board of trustees. That is unnecessary and unwelcome. I invite our colleague to discuss this issue and I recommend that they address WP:NOTDIR and WP:UNIGUIDE; this is an encyclopedia article, not an extension of the college's website. ElKevbo ( talk) 13:57, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
Need a third opinion both here and at List of Colorado College people on the inclusion in the list of alumni of Cole Emhoff, who is being repeatedly added by an IP who believes he should be included because he's Kamala Harris's stepson. —valereee ( talk) 19:47, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
