An article on Tuesday about colleges looking more favorably on wealthy applicants referred incorrectly to a pledge by Grinnell College to limit the amount of loans that students must pay back after graduation. The college promises that no student will graduate with more than $2,000 a year in loans — not a total of $2,000 in loans. (Go to Article)
An article on Saturday about reaction in Pennsylvania to a scandal in which two judges sent thousands of juveniles to two private detention centers in exchange for $2.6 million in kickbacks misspelled the hometown of one of the judges. It is Hazleton, Pa., not Hazelton. (Go to Article)

The Saturday Profile article about Louise Richardson, the first woman president of the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, the third-oldest university in the English-speaking world, misstated the publication year of a book she cited in her installation ceremony last week as an example of how women have advanced. The book, by John Knox, a St. Andrews graduate, titled “First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women,” was published in 1558, not 1858.
The article also misstated the name of the Protestant college Ms. Richardson attended in Ireland. It is Trinity College Dublin, not “Trinity University in Dublin.” (Go to Article)

A picture caption on Tuesday with an article about the first day of a new economic strategy by Detroit’s two major newspapers to cut home delivery to three days a week misidentified a man shown distributing newspapers. He is Bob Kroll, not Jason Watson. (Go to Article)

An article on Monday about plans to reroute the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to avoid Broadway referred imprecisely to the parade. It is the only major annual march to use Broadway — not the only major march to do so. The error also appeared in a picture caption in some editions. (Parades to honor special events or visiting dignitaries have been held occasionally on Lower Broadway for many years.) (Go to Article)

An article in some editions on Sunday about Villanova’s 78-76 victory over Pittsburgh in the N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament misspelled the surname of the Pittsburgh player who missed a 70-foot shot at the buzzer. He is Levance Fields, not Field. Because of an editing error, the article also misstated the potential effect of the shot. It would have given Pittsburgh the victory; it would not have sent the game into overtime. (Go to Article)

A picture on March 14 with the TV Watch column, about the stock market analyst Jim Cramer’s appearance on “The Daily Show,” carried an erroneous credit. The picture, of Mr. Cramer and Jon Stewart, host of “The Daily Show,” was taken by Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times, not Jason DeCrow/Associated Press. (Go to Article)
