Which academy?

In the "Early life" section, in the last paragraph, the last two sentences read: "He is credited with providing its name, and both Cecil (Class of 1900) and William (Class of 1901) graduated from the Academy, which they attended on scholarship. The Academy honored Cecil with an Alumni Achievement Award." To which academy does this refer? Palisade73 (talk) 15:52, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

External Links

I've organized the external links section, but I feel that it is too long. I'm hesitant to delete any of the links, although the census information seems excessive and the Rinehart collection a bit tangential. Should some be converted into in-text citations? Are there guidelines about categories of external links? Rwelean (talk) 19:21, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Safety

De Mille's attitude about safety on the set was referenced in Mel Brooks' 1974 film Blazing Saddles with a line by Jim (Gene Wilder) stating he "must have killed more men than Cecil B. DeMille".
