<p>Read it, loved it. It’s becoming out of date (published 2004) in some ways, but in others… well, things haven’t changed. Elon is still growing, still building, still keeping the campus beautiful, still #1 on the list of “runs like butter” (in other words, still committed to excellence at all levels of the process), still has faculty that care about students and teaching, still knows who their students are and engages them with their studies, and still does it all for 30% lower price than similar private colleges, and with an endowment significantly smaller than many other private institutions. Their current president, Leo Lambert, is a true gem. A beloved leader who commands respect, but still manages to keep a twitter account (#headphoenix) from which he tweeted a picture of his striped homecoming socks.</p>
