[edit] Article needs fleshing out

Does anyone know about the origins/history of Lesley? There has to be more. Who was Lesley? The kindergarten part likely has a lot more behind it, perhaps with the emergence of the kindergarten/early childhood development movement of the late nineteenth century. Is thre a potential connection between the Lesley founder and the precepts of Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel (Froebel School in nearby Providence, RI), the education Reform Movement, or Heinrich Pestalozzi?

campus pics would be nice too.

More degree descriptions would be good, and the evolution to university status (I wrote similar description on AIB article). CApitol3 15:37, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lesley seal

Is there a source for the Lesley seal? I have seen it, it has two griffin sort of animals on either side of a shield. Would be nice in the info box.CApitol3 15:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I am a student at Lesley U and I will try and grab our crest when I get back to school in August. 70.181.45.198 05:05, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Student Life

Is there a reason that this page contains a list of all of Lesley University's housing? It doesn't seem like that section is of general interest... Reyemile (talk) 22:18, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
