Need an alphabetical listing

Suppose you had only the logo of a college giving its initials, say GC, and a picture of its mascot, say a panther. If you had an alphabetical listing, you could quickly find all colleges with the initials G.C., then go find the one with a panther for a mascot.

Further, my collegiate dictionary lists American colleges alphabetically. If it is good for Merriam Webster, it ought to be good for Wikipedia.CountMacula (talk) 10:38, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Maryland and Delaware

Maryland is listed as northeastern, but is on the southern map. Delaware is listed as northeastern, and appears on both maps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.230.63 (talk) 07:23, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch! I've updated this article and uploaded new versions of the maps. Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 16:23, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
