Town or hamlet?

How can it be called a "hamlet" and a "town" at the same time? It can't be both. -The Gnome (talk) 04:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wording as the article stands today of ...is a hamlet in the town... is valid. In New York, a hamlet is a informal area of a town. See Administrative divisions of New York for further information. --Arg342 (talk) 18:02, 11 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship to Columbia University

The article says that Bard and his wife donated land to Columbia to establish a college there. But that isn't quite how Bard Collge's own web page puts it:

"St. Stephen’s College was established by John Bard in association with leaders of the Episcopal Church in New York City...In 1928, a time of increasing financial uncertainty, St. Stephen’s became an undergraduate school of Columbia University..."

(The web page points out that the name was changed in 1934 to Bard in honor of its founder.)

John Bard may have, in fact, been a Columbia alumnus, but the web site's narrative reads a little differently than the article. Not that I care; I have no connection to the school and only came across it while reading the article on James Galbraith who does have a connection to the school.

I just wanted to point this out.

What puzzles me a bit is why this article does not talk about the school's current affiliation (or not) with Columbia.
