- Lafayette College is a private coeducational liberal arts and engineering college located in Easton, Pennsylvania, USA. The school, founded in 1826 by citizens of Easton, first began holding classes in 1832. The founders voted to name the school after General Lafayette, then in a farewell tour of the country, as "a testimony of respect for [his] talents, virtues, and signal services... the great cause of freedom" (initially Marquis de Lafayette until June 1790, when he abolished and permanently renounced both the nobility and aristocratic title). The student body, consisting entirely of undergraduates, come from 37 U.S. states and 57 countries. In its 2010 edition, U.S. News & World Report ranked Lafayette 35th out of all liberal arts colleges in the nation, while Barron's ranked it among the top 65 "Most Competitive" colleges and universities. Lafayette's endowment is one of the 100 largest in the country, indicating significant wealth, especially for an entirely undergraduate institution. Its 23 Division I sports teams participate in the Patriot League, with its football team claiming the league championship from 2004-2006.
- Het Lafayette College is een particulier college voor vrije kunsten en techniek, gelegen in Easton in de Amerikaanse staat Pennsylvania. Het college werd in 1826 opgericht door burgers van Easton, en opende in 1932 zijn deuren voor studenten. De eerste klas bestond uit 43 studenten. Het college is vernoemd naar generaal Lafayette, die kort daarvoor New York had bezocht. In 1854 ging het college een band aan met de Presbyteriaanse Kerk. De studenten aan het college zijn allemaal undergraduates, afkomstig uit 37 Amerikaanse staten en 57 landen. In 2009 werd het college 35e op U.S. News & World Report’s lijst van nationale colleges voor vrije kunsten. De campus van het college ligt aan de Delaware River en telt meerdere gebouwen.
