Agreed, there should be a note text under the field that says "letters
only" or something to that effect.

In the longer run... this field itself is actually kind of a problem.
After the user enters it, it's invisible to them forever after, and the
only time users interact with it is in URLs and in CSV files.

We should change this field to be auto-generated in a similar manner to
how we auto-generate default clean-url titles.

Title:
  "Institution name" field is confusing

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  When I log in as an Admin and follow: Administation -> Institutions ->
  Add institution. Then I fill in Institution name with "Fantastic name"
  and I fill in Institution display name with the same then I  try
  saving the institution. I get an ambiguous error not stating why the
  names haven't been accecpted.

  I can see that there is an information icon next to it, and I could
  click that for more information to  problem solve. However if the
  error message stated that the Institution name had to be a single word
  and the curser directed them back to the box to re type it in it would
  be better practice .

  15.04dev (commit 685dfca0e652f250d5c2f8f973f405d2931a5f1a)
  Linux
  PSQL 9.3.5
  Firefox 33.0

  Thanks,
  Jinelle
