I rewrote the section on the GSS leaving the AMS as what was there before is entirely inaccurate. The claim that the split was "amicable" would reduce generations of AMS and GSS executives to tears of laughter. There was a period when tensions were so bad that the AMS banned grad students from participaing in any AMS run services, they even had meetings to try to figure out how to stop grads from having free access to the Queen's Journal. As for the claim that the AMS is a "founding member of CASA" that's just bizarre as the AMS not only was not in CASA when it was founded, it has *never* been a CASA member. The rest of the article sounds like it was cribbed from the AMS' annual report. Rewriting and balance is needed to make it NPOV. AndyL 08:46, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The second paragraph in the history section has now been deleted several times. Many people have worked on that part of the article, and if something is wrong, please just change it rather than trashing the whole thing. —Arctic.gnome 03:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If the AMS was "created" in 1858 and "incorporated" in 1969, what form did it take for the 111 years in between? -Arctic.gnome 19:34, 22 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The AMS was simply a student society between its creation in 1858 and its incorporation in 1969. After incorporation, the AMS, Inc. was responsible for services while the student society aspect of its work continues on to this day in the work of the Commissions under the leadership of the President and the Vice-President (University Affairs).

Requested Move

Move to "Alma Mater Society of Queen's University", the legal name of the organization. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Naylorm (talk • contribs) 05:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NAME convention is to use the most commonly used name, not the legal name necessarily. GreenJoe 05:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"AMS" is the most commonly used name among Queen's students, however most other people refer to it as the "Queen's AMS". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rainpat (talk • contribs) 20:42, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
