Almost there. I would like to see a few more sources cited, especially for items that might be challenged. For example:

• "However, the size of the campus, combined with its curving roads and lack of a centralized quadrangle, can make it difficult for newcomers to navigate." Lovelac7 09:22, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
• "It was the first building erected in the United States for the teaching of scientific agriculture." Max ╦╩ 21:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
• "Michigan State's campus was among the first to serve as a botanical laboratory for its faculty and students and is the site of what is, today, the world’s oldest continuously documented experiment." Max ╦╩ 21:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
• "Though they only dug up small portions of the site, they uncovered many artifacts, since the college hastily buried the rubble in 1876 and constructed a new dormitory near the site." Max ╦╩ 21:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
• "Beaumont Tower became the new architectural symbol of Michigan State College." Max ╦╩ 21:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
• "These roads pass through some of the most crowded areas of campus, and receive the highest volumes of pedestrian and vehicle traffic." Max ╦╩ 21:00, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

• it now reads: "These roads pass through some of the most crowded areas of campus, and receive high volumes of pedestrian and vehicle traffic."
