"extremely successful mother" - huh?
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.
