This man was also an eugenicist

This man was also an eugenicist and a racist.In fact, he gave money for his brother to found the Race Betterment Society, an eugenics society, in 1910 decade.And this article has nothing, about the link between Will Kellogg and eugenics.Agre22 (talk) 22:33, 8 June 2008 (UTC)agre22[reply]

This accusation is not true, except for the part about J.H. Kellogg promoting eugenics. W.K had nothing to do with it and never supported it, at least not with money. [1] C4tp (talk) 05:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seven

According to this (decidedly unprofessional) website, Kellogg was obsessed with the number 7. It would be worthwhile to verify this, and if it's true incorporate that information into the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.187.0.164 (talk) 14:33, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Premiums" aka toys/gifts/company store items

http://www.kellogghistory.com/history.html mentions the actual name of the dolls from the 1920s.

How to clarify that? I think a link to a section in an article on marketing would make sense, but I am still looking for it. JWhiteheadcc (talk) 21:21, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK found this but it doesn't mention cereal and "box top" promotions. I guess we should do a '2-fer-1' deal on the articles. ;) JWhiteheadcc (talk) 21:27, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Founder of Cal Poly Pomona?

Somewhere I read that he donated his ranch originally to the University of California, didn't like the way they handled it, that it was briefly a remount station during WWII, and that only then did he give it to Cal Poly (there was no CSU yet), where it was added to the existing Voorhis unit. I'm sure I have some of this mixed up, but although it is abundantly obvious that his philanthropy made Cal Poly Pomona what it is today, it's not as clear that he was a founder in the sense of playing an active role in creating a university. I'm not contesting that inclusion, or even the wording, but rather that the article should make clearer his role in both Kellogg College and Cal Poly Pomona, once those sources can be found and added.--Curtis Clark (talk) 02:26, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are right Dr. Clark. After all Kellogg College, Oxford was founded in 1990 and Cal Poly Pomona became an independent university in 1966 (Kellogg himself died in 1951). There is this article from polycentic which sort-of "backs up" the claim, but it's probably best to find something from the Archives or a more reliable source and until then remove the claims altogether. What do you think?--Marco Guzman, Jr (talk) 03:40, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the wording to something that can be more easily substantiated. Perhaps it would be best to remove the section; I realized on re-reading the article that the Cal Poly Pomona connection is well-explained, and Kellogg College seems to be a legacy of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, where it should probably be mentioned.--Curtis Clark (talk) 05:16, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The fate of the ranch is significant, however it is explained. It was a remount station, and somewhere I came across a news piece (Some Arabian horse publication that I probably recycled, unfortunately) that there had been talk of discontinuing the Arabian horse breeding program there at one time, which was stopped in part due to the language of Mr. Kellogg's original donation of the facility. (I believe it had a "so long as Arabian horses are bred there" clause) However, I have never seen a claim that Mr. Kellogg was involved with the actual founding of the institution itself.

Picture

The picture of the, "Elder and Mrs. James White" needs a caption. Who are they? How are they related to and what significance do they have to W.K. Kellogg's life? 212.250.138.33 (talk) 03:26, 10 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like it's part of the {{Seventh-day Adventism}} template, which we can't fix from within this article, but I agree that it looks really clunky. I'll go over and bug the template folks about it. Good spotting! Montanabw^(talk) 22:09, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Descendants?
