Dang - We Need A Bigger Soap-Box

We're only No. 8 out of over a million Google hits for "University Mary Washington stupid name."

(For those of you unaware of the backstory, Mary Washington College was a perfectly respectable school down Fredericksburg way. About two years ago, the school decided to rename itself, incorporating an ambitious expansion into new undergrad and grad programs. Instead of the perfectly obvious "Mary Washington University", the school chose to go with "The University of Mary Washington." I said it was a stupid idea at the time and I still say so.)

You know, Husband and I were just there in June.

I hear that's a b**ch of a school to get in to.
