Cleanup

Cleanup recommended. This article is all over the place. In definite need of disambiguation, reorganization. jareha 06:24, 5 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I've disambiguated this article. Would like to know if there's a consensus that cleanup is complete. jareha 00:45, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

latin usage

I was taught that latin often did not use capital letters- should we refer to it as 'alma mater', or am I missing something? :)

Matriculation, from the Latin ???

I am confused, this page says

 "The word matriculation is derived from the Latin root word mater."

But the "matricualtion" page says

 "Matriculation, ..., from the Latin matrix" meaning "list" or "register"

Are they both right? How?

BTW, one of the old meanings of "matrix" appears to be "womb"

From the "mater" page

 māter (genitive mātris); f, third declension

At any rate, I'm confused - clarification would be appreiciated :)
