This article reads more like a recruitment brochure than an encyclopedia
written with an eye towards neutral-point-of-view.
"nice, quiet", "well-known" and other glowing phrases. I've heard great
things about Reed, true, and know or know of a few alumni, but even so.

well (assuming that production of Ph.D.s can be defined as "doing well")
because of value-add unique to any college, or because they tend to draw
from a more select pool, academically and economically.
