INTRODUCTION MISSION In an environment that fosters the free ex change of ideas, Lafayette College seeks to nurture the inquiring mind and to inte grate intellectual, social, and personal growth. The College strives to develop students' skills of critical thinking, verbal communication, and quantitative reason ing and their capacity for creative endeav or; it encourages students to examine the traditions of their own culture and those of others, to develop systems of values that include an understanding of personal, social, and professional responsibility, and to regard education as an indispensable, life-long process. PROFILE Lafayette College was founded in 1826 by citizens of Easton, Pennsylvania, as an all-male liberal arts institution. Through out its history, the College has continually shaped itself in ways that best serve its educational purpose, remaining support ive of the tradition of liberal education while being responsive to changes and challenges of society and the times. For example, in 1838, it became one of the first colleges to implement a teacher- training program, thus recognizing the connections within education at all levels. In 1854, the College formed a mutually supportive association with the Presbyte rian Church. In 1866, as industrialism was changing the Western world, it estab lished courses in engineering, chemistry, and mining. At a local level, it acknowl edged the educational needs of the East on area by introducing a part-time evening degree program in 1953. More re cently, as the role of women in society un derwent redefinition, the College, in 1970, began coeducation to prepare both men and women to lead the nation into a new century. Today, Lafayette is an indepen dent, coeducational, residential, under graduate institution with a faculty of dis tinction and 2,100 full-time men and women students of high intellectual promise and diverse backgrounds.The student body is 52 percent men and 48 percent women. The College's curriculum is distin guished by the rare combination, on an undergraduate campus, of degree pro grams in the liberal arts and in engineer ing. Students who come to Lafayette may choose among a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary courses and pursue the Bachelor of Arts degree in 25 fields or the Bachelor of Science degree in nine fields of science and four fields of engineering. In addition, part-time students may seek the A.B. in engineering or economics and busi ness and the B.S. in electrical engineering. Those who pursue professional career prep aration do so within programs rooted in and enriched by the liberal arts. Lafayette alumni/ae remain unusually active and supportive of the College and its goals. Effective and challenging teaching is the first priority of the faculty both in the class room and in a variety of independent and collaborative learning experiences. Easton's proximity to New York and Philadelphia helps students extend their learning experi ences, as do Lafayette's full co-curricular in tellectual, cultural, athletic, and social pro grams. Faculty research and scholarship are encouraged and supported in the belief that such professional involvement extends the individual faculty member's intellectual re sources, strengthens and complements teaching effectiveness, facilitates student/ faculty research, and contributes to the scholarly and professional communities outside the College. In addition to a campus of great beauty, Lafayette offers a well-equipped physical plant. Its programs are supported by a library with over 475,000 volumes and an extensive array of electronic resources; modern computer facilities and laborato ries accessible to students; a thriving Cen ter for the Arts; a large College Center for dining and other communal activities; an athletic complex compatible with its intercollegiate Patriot League commitment and its extensive intramural program; two chapels serving a variety of religious commitments; and a diversity of living situations. Lafayette's endowment per student is in the top 2 percent of all institutions in the country.
