Comments from EricEnfermero

Just a few comments from the first few sections:
 * In the lead, some of the larger numbers are awkward as words.
 * Do we need to add III to van Rensselaer's name since I, II, and III all appear to be notable people?
 * In the history section I would specify what role (congressman I think) van Rensselaer held when he organized the school.
 * "The fact that the school..." - might start that sentence with "Eaton's reputation allowed the school to..."
 * "strongly resembled a graduate school more..." - I think you can get rid of strongly.
 * First sentence under Since 1900: move "for the fourth time" to the end of the clause.
 * Under Campus, I would clarify "gradually moved to the hilltop".
 * Under Postwar expansion, get rid of "interestingly". The last sentence there is also pretty long.

Good luck! May come back and try to leave more. EricEnfermero HOWDY! 08:47, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
