This name can't be right! Do we have a source? Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 13:04, 3 Octobris 2007 (UTC)
- I've fixed it up a bit, but the title needs a redirect. It's surely a schola ('prep [scil. school]'), not an universitas. IacobusAmor 13:21, 3 Octobris 2007 (UTC)
- But doesn't college prep imply preparatory school FOR university, hence the ablative universitate?
- OK, but (a) the title needs a noun in the nominative, (b) the ablative doesn't normally give the sense "for", (c) Preparatoria is misspelt, (d) we aren't supposed to invent names. Unless the place has an established Latin name, we should move it to its English name. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 18:03, 10 Octobris 2007 (UTC)
- I sent an email asking for help to one of the Profs in their language department, Anne Barclay-Hicks; Maybe she can find out for us.--Rafaelgarcia 18:36, 10 Octobris 2007 (UTC)
- My (d) above was wrong in this case: we normally Latinise the names of institutions. So, since we haven't heard of an official Latin name, I have now Latinised it as best I can. Andrew Dalby (disputatio) 02:07, 22 Maii 2009 (UTC)
