  • What is the life style on campus,, or how about the main focus among the students?
  • Are there any events that all the students look forward to?


  • What is not clear to me in the history of Vincennes University is whether the Jefferson Academy was a private institution or a public one. Any help (with web or printed references) would be helpful.
  • Another topic that is not clear to me is: what was the mission of Jefferson Academy? With the name academy, I suspect that its mission included secondary education, but then again there could just be a modern versus antiquated difference in the use of the term academy. Any help (with web or printed references) would be helpful.
  • Another topic that has some degree of ambiguity is the exact step-by-step relationship between Jefferson Academy, Vincennes University, and Territorial University (the public land-grant university founded by the Territory of Indiana, which might be separate from VU or might be VU itself). I suspect that the history description that I wrote up in this article is telling only a portion of the story. What might help is if anyone has access to the Trustees of VU v State of Indiana legal case's papers...help please from someone in the know. What I suspect is that VU existed in parallel for a brief period of time with Territorial University before acquiring its assets through a merger that was prompted by the State of Indiana seeking to abandon its relationship with the Territory of Indiana's public university, as perhaps the State of Indiana wanted to fund only one public unversity in Bloomington and not carry the territorial university forward at all. VU perhaps interpreted that one of its assets was the land-grant status, whereas the State of Indiana perhaps thought that they were transferring ownership of only the defunct territorial university's real estate omitting the land-grant legal status. There is much room for clarification on these finer points that I broadbrushed as accurately as I could in the article as it now stands without access to the blow-by-blow historical documents as seminal references.

oldest north of ohio river & west of alleghenies

this is so contrived. this is a rip off of pitt, which is the oldest west of the alleghenies. vincennes is north of around half of the ohio, while pitt is north of all of it except a tiny bit, and even used to be located directly north of where the river starts. whoever thought up that factoid needs to make up a new one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.175.26 (talk) 04:10, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Basketball

Hey, Vincennes! I went to Lorain County Community College in Ohio in the 70s. I remember that the basketball team was a powerhouse and won some national championships in Junior College Basketball. Somebody from the Vincennes community that knows more about this than I do needs to flesh out a nice entry honoring the program and it's accomplishments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyle kursk (talk • contribs) 20:38, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
