Institute of Paper Science and Technology, now at Georgia Tech, was a part of Lawrence University until around 1989.
From the article on coeducation: U.S. institutions of higher education coeducational from establishment Franklin College (1787) (later changed to become all-male) Oberlin College (1833) Alfred University (1836) Knox College (1837) Hillsdale College (1844) Olivet College (1844) Lawrence University (1847)
This article needs to be edited heavily for NPOV.
The last sentence of the history section says, "Often, you hear of 'the Lawrence Difference,' and Freshman Studies is considered a big part of that." I don't know who "you" is supposed to mean, but presumably most people don't hear about this concept at all, let alone often. I'm not denying that there is such a difference, but it is presented as general knowledge when it isn't. Perhaps "People familiar with the school often refer to 'the Lawrence Difference'" would be more appropriate. The second part of the quoted passage is very poorly written and needs to be replaced, but I will leave that task to someone better acquainted with Lawrence than I am.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Lawrence Viking.jpg
Image:Lawrence Viking.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
