Coeducation
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) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.207.246.230 (talk • contribs) 15:10, 26 March 2006

NPOV
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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.232.225.95 (talk • contribs) 19:47, 20 June 2006


 * The opening paragraph also needs cleaning up: " In addition to music, Lawrence University is renowned for its tremendous science departments, especially in physics and biology. Its Mathematics deparment is also spectacular."  This is boosterism. Kdammers (talk) 04:56, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

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 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.

sophomore studies
There is no mention of the sophomore studies program. While this is not as profound a program as freshman studies, it still is a special program of Lawrence (if it still is being followed). Kdammers (talk) 04:58, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Annapolis Group
Lawrence is a member of the Annapolis Group, and the late Pres. Warsh was head of it at one time.211.225.34.48 (talk) 04:50, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

Institute of Paper Chemistry
Until the 1989, the Institute of Paper Chemistry was part of Lawrence before moving to Georgia Tech. Kdammers (talk) 10:19, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Institute of Paper Science and Technology
Institute of Paper Science and Technology, now at Georgia Tech, was a part of Lawrence University until around 1989. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kdammers (talk • contribs) 20:03, 26 November 2005

For a number of years, the Institute of Paper Chemistry, now The Institute of Paper Science and Technology, was affiliated with Lawrence before moving to Georgia in 1989. This should be added.12:12, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Razed buildings
Are the dates in parentheses dates of construction or destruction? Some don't seem to be right for either. Kdammers (talk) 03:53, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

"and one of the Great Books Colleges." -- What exactly does this mean? Lawrence is not like, e.g., St. Johns, where the curriculum consists of all or almost only studying the great books.Kdammers (talk) 04:30, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

Trivia
The Great Midwest Trivia Contest should be mentioned, perhaps under traditions. Great Midwest Trivia Contest (lawrence.edu) / https://blogs.lawrence.edu/trivia. Kdammers (talk) 18:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
