It seems highly unlikely that his alma mater was the Academy of Geneva since it wasn't founded until 1912. It is more likely that he was a student at the University of Geneva. StarHOG (Talk) 21:59, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You might want to reconsider your favourite sources of information. The Academy of Geneva (which of course became later the University in Geneva, in 1873) was founded in 1559 by John Calvin. Sapphorain (talk) 23:46, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Well, you're right, I am using wikipedia! :) If you type in Academy of Geneva, or even follow the link in Caladrini's info box, it takes you here Rousseau Institute and that page says it was founded in 1912. If you go to the University of Geneva page, well, that's a whole other thing. Are the two the same? Does this page say he went to the Academy when it should say University? Something is screwy but I don't know what part. StarHOG (Talk) 13:10, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I corrected the link in the infobox. At his time this institution had a different structure, was not located where it is now, and was not called university. But it did evolve to become the University of Geneva, in 1873. Sapphorain (talk) 13:35, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, Academy of Geneva is also mentioned in the main body. Also, there are no references in this article to source any of this information. Do you know some sources that backs any of this up? StarHOG (Talk) 13:55, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
