Religious Affiliation

currently listed as "anglican" should thi snot be changed to none? the chapel is "anglican style" but the school maintains a secular environment. flagitious 23:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

It is currently unlisted, until there is any resolution on this. There is indeed an Anglican chapel, and an Anglican priest on staff (the Chaplain), but the school emphasizes that it is non-denominational and multi-religious. There are some indications of this, with the presence of other religious symbols in the chapel itself. However, all students are required to attend chapel daily (exemptions are rarely allowed), which is definitely an Anglican service. What resolution? Keep in mind that our own difficulty with this is caused by the fact that many people at Appleby itself do not understand the school's relationship with Anglican Christianity. --Kenojuak37 (Talk | Contribs) 07:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Athletics/Arts

There's a lot more information about this as it pertains to Appleby available, and it's an important part of the school. No mention is made of many varsity sports that are prominent, no mention is made of success in arts aside from MUN/Debating. I would add but I have no information with regards to that. flagitious 06:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Notable Alumni

Please add more to this list. It should be someone who has significant achievments, or at least is well known enough to have a Wikipedia page.

Didn't John Marshall Harlan II (former justice of the US Supreme Court) also attend Appleby? Thought he was in the same class as Raymond Massey. Worth mentioning here.

I agree. However, I can't find a source for that. Everything on the web says he went to UCC. Is that a mistake, or did he go to both UCC and Appleby?70.24.190.9 00:12, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Think he went to both but graduated from Appleby. Same class as Raymond Massey.

OK, done. However, he would have been two years behind Massey. 70.24.190.9 02:03, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Harlan went to UCC for primary school, I believe up to Grade 10 - graduated from apps though. flagitious 06:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

What is the source for John Kenneth Galbraith having attended Appleby? I've tried to verify that, but can't.69.77.169.90 (talk) 19:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Would second that query; there's no reference to it in Galbraith's Wiki page, or elsewhere. Tempted to delete. SterlingMorrison (talk) 07:50, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Have looked very thoroughly through several Galbraith biographies (using the e-books from the University of Toronto Libraries), and there is absolutely no reference, nor on the web. I am almost certain Galbraith did not attend Appleby, or at the very least did not graduate from there. --Kenojuak37 (Talk | Contribs) 07:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Footnotes

Would someone please fix the 2 footnotes relating to the Maclean's article? The URL's are in the source text for the article, though they have somehow been improperly formatted. I do not know how to fix this. Thanks

Someone got this. thanks

Guy McLean as Acting Headmaster

Alexis Troubetzkoy abruptly left Appleby after closing day in June 1987. Guy McLean, then Director of Studies, was appointed as acting headmaster, and after a year of very successful leadership, was signed onto his first full headmaster contract by the Board of Governors. This is reflected in new edits, and is accurate. Shagmaestro 21:18, 8 December 2006 (UTC) I have to admit that I fail to see the need to list the name of the same person twice, even assuming you are correct, although I note you provide no sources for what you say.74.100.78.166 13:28, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed with 74.100.78.166; since Guy McLean has been in office continually, let him be listed as such. One year at the beginning is hardly notable compared to two decades in the post. Furthermore, an acting headmaster is in fact a headmaster, but with a short, interim contract. I think this is settled. --Kenojuak37 (Talk | Contribs) 07:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Who is the founder? Guest, Walker, or Both?

There is some obscurity about whether Appleby was founded by John Guest, Sir Byron Edmund Walker, or both men working together. As a student, I heard both names, but some sources (Canadian Encyclopedia of Biography Online) list Walker as the sole founder. However, Walker was very well known, and Guest almost completely unknown publicly (from what I can tell), so perhaps the publications merely reflect that difference, rather than accurately describing what happened. Maybe Walker was the visionary and the funder, and Guest was merely the first headmaster (indeed, he was the first headmaster). Can anyone dig up some information on this? --Kenojuak37 (Talk | Contribs) 07:40, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
