Biographical Information relating to name changes of Universities in Time

edit

Based on numerous examples of alumni pages from larger institutions such as Michigan State University and Kansas State University the practice appears to be to state the current name of the institution in the 'Alma Mater' or 'alumni' data fields and/or referencing the current name with the previous name in parenthesis. I believe for Jerilyn Britz the page should Minnesota State University, Mankato (formerly Mankato State College). There is no existing guides or rules for this chronology related data.
