University of Pittsburgh
Clarifying content and adding sources regarding Pitts founding. Pittsburgh Academy was a preparatory school not a university. Consistency is key here. One of Pitt's peers, University of Delaware, claims a founding date of 1743, which is actually the founding date of it's antecedent school "Free School".Tags: RevertedVisual edit

University of Pittsburgh
This page has some serious issues with Academic boosterism. I've addressed a few of the issues with this page: 1) Pitt is not "ranked as one of the top universities ... in both domestic and international rankings". It barely ranks in the Top 50 according to the rankings and reputation-wise is even less well regarded. 2) The first paragraph reads like a university brochure with overly exaggerated historical context for the U. 3) The founding date is dubious – (see UDelaware). Booster tag added.Tags: RevertedVisual edit: Switched
