I don’t know if Reed is really getting quirkier… it just gets commented on anew out here every year as people visit and figure out what it is like. :)

Why do you think Oberlin is moving more to the mainstream? I haven’t had that impression… it came across to us as quite different from Kenyon, for example, when we visited last year. Food choices, housing choices (co-ops, unusual on a LAC campus), competitions on campus to use the lowest amount of water, the (ahem) waste recycling project in one of the buildings – they still came across as very liberal still. Nothing wrong with that, but they are not Kenyon by a long stretch.
