Named after which James Madison edit
I see that the article currently has a citation from a 2007 JMU webpage saying that it was named Madison College in 1938 after James Madison (POTUS). However, I note that James Madison (bishop) was born in Port Republic, a mere 10 miles from JMU. Might Madison College be named after the latter James Madison or his family? Are there any sources from the time indicating who the college was named after? Daask (talk) 01:33, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
- The JMU website says they were named after the 4th president of the US. https://www.jmu.edu/centennialcelebration/presidents.shtml CKarnstein (talk) 21:37, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
Update the photos of campus edit
Surely there's someone who can take some? What's on this page is quite old. The ones of the quad are blurry and do not reflect any of the changes over the past years. If I were still in the area I'd take some myself. 174.60.107.8 (talk) 22:34, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
