orthogonal to this, but your associations are borked - that should be has_many :alerts and then you can do away with that find method and do @institution.alerts > from irb i tried: > a = Alert.find_all(1) > it showed me the correct record > but if i tried: a.name that dies because your find_all method returns an array and arrays don't have a name method. Your view doesn't display the name because you've put attr_accessor in your model: Active Record creates accessor functions for you, by using attr_accessor you've overridden those with versions that don't look at the values Active Record fetches from the database.
