Introduction

Does a college really "produce" a prime minister, or does it simply educate one? I recommend the latter NPOV wording; the former implicitly assumes a rather greater degree of influence by a college over an individual's future---and let us not forget, Pitt was not only an aristocrat but a prodigiously young student. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.175.50 (talk) 13:26, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alumni ordering

Are these currently ordered in some way I haven't recognised? Shall we order them, perhaps alphabetically or chronologically so that repeats like those which I've just removed are less likely to appear? -- Kymara 14:00, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

William Fowler

I believe that the link to William Fowler is not correct. It should link to William Alfred Fowler, who won the Nobel prize in 1983 and not William Fowler the Scottish poet who lived well before the Nobel prize was started.

Can you please correct the link?

Thank you Claudia

Congratulations

You have worked the pics in so that they do not caused orphaning of great slabs of text when viewed on wide screens. This is an amazingly rare talent among the editors of university college articles. Amandajm (talk) 04:41, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alpha

Whibley is slightly out of alphabetical order but I won't argue the point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.215.180 (talk) 10:03, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. What's the convention on names like van der Byl? Does that belong among the Vs (as here, now) or the Bs? I'd have said the latter.Tirailleur (talk) 12:02, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Valencians"?

I have flagged this as 'citation needed' because I am doubtful this term is that widely used. It is perhaps used in the same way that the term 'Elizabeth Tower' is used of the tower Big Ben sits in (it isn't), or in the way that the Union Flag is always called that rather than the Union Jack (it isn't).

A Google search shows 50-odd returns from http://www.pem.cam.ac.uk but (i) most are in passing (ii) some are duplicates returns of the same page and (iii) I'm not sure that a Google search is a cite.

I have no especially strong feelings about this...Tirailleur (talk) 12:24, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History between 1377 and 2015?

Could we have some, please? Like when Pembroke first admitted women?

Women were admitted in 1984. Rather than rehash the college's whole history on a Wikipedia page why not just link / refer to the college's own page? Tirailleur (talk) 16:32, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Morley

One day I hope that Jamie Morley will enjoy the same levels of recognition as names like William Pitt the Younger and George Gabriel Stokes, but I do wonder if his current fame as Stokes Society representative merits his place among the “people associated with Pembroke” in this article 88.29.46.123 (talk) 22:31, 18 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
