 Ok. We don`t have any real ""diploma mills"" here in Norway, so I didn`t think of that. If this might be a problem, then the question would be if indeed Reed College was ""one of the top liberal arts institutions at the time"" or a ""diploma mill"", some 40 years ago. 
 We know what Langan says about this, but anybody else could offer proof to the contrary, if they can.
