<p>could anyone list at least 15 ppl?</p>

<p>This appears to be a contest…so the school with the most famous “alumni” wins your favor…too bad you asked for males only. Just think your list could have been longer if you had included women!!</p>

<p>Look in Wikipedia under the article ‘List of Brown University People’ (you can link to it from the main Brown Universiy article).</p>

<p>Some famous alums include:<br>
Charles Evans Hughes, Carlos Fuentes, Horace Mann, John F. Kennedy Jr. and John D. Rockafeller Jr.</p>

<p>Ted Turner also. But really, notable alumni don’t matter much. Consider that most of these people got their degrees decades ago and that the faculty and in some cases, the school itself (there was no New Curriculum until the 1970s) was completely different.</p>

<p>hazmat: You are correct that alumni is the masculine plural; however, if there is a group that is all women except for one man, it is still alumni. Have you not taken a romance language? Alumni refers to all graduates, men and women, of a school that is either co-ed or all male.</p>

<p>From the American Heritage dictionary:</p>

<p>“Usage Note: Alumnus and alumna both come from Latin and preserve Latin plurals. Alumnus is a masculine noun whose plural is alumni, and alumna is a feminine noun whose plural is alumnae. Coeducational institutions usually use alumni for graduates of both sexes. But those who object to masculine forms in such cases may prefer the phrase alumni and alumnae or the form alumnae/i, which is the choice of many women’s colleges that have begun to admit men.”</p>

<p>hazmat, I’m not sure if you were honestly upset, or if you were just trying to show off your knowledge of English, but it’s pretty clear that thenextyao was not trying to discriminate, and hijacking this thread for a moment seems pretty unreasonable of you. There’s no reason to be suspicious of people here, most of the time, anyway.</p>
