[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, PP is really insecure/thin-skinned. It is not ignorance - the toothpaste brand is better known. That doesn't mean Colgate isn't a very good school or anyway diminish it. (As opposed to say, its misogynistic/frat bro reputation).[/quote] The college is named after the Colgate family, just as the toothpaste is. Same family. "Instruction began in 1820, and three years later the school became known as the Hamilton Literary and Theological Institution. The name was changed to Madison University in 1846 and, in 1890, to Colgate, honouring the philanthropy of soapmaker William Colgate and his family."[/quote]
