History

Reed College's Eliot Hall on a rare snowy day.
Reed College's Eliot Hall on a rare snowy day.

The Reed Institute (the legal name of the college) was founded in 1908, and Reed College held its first classes in 1911. Reed is named for Oregon pioneers Simeon Gannett Reed and Amanda Reed. Simeon Gannett Reed ( April 23 1830 &ndash1895 was an American businessman and Entrepreneur in Oregon. [8] Simeon was an entrepreneur in trade on the Columbia River; in his will he suggested that his wife could "devote some portion of my estate to benevolent objects, or to the cultivation, illustration, or development of the fine arts in the city of Portland, or to some other suitable purpose, which shall be of permanent value and contribute to the beauty of the city and to the intelligence, prosperity, and happiness of the inhabitants. The Columbia River (known as "[9] The first president of Reed (1910–1919) was William Trufant Foster, a former professor at Bates College and Bowdoin College in Maine. William Trufant Foster ( January 18, 1879 - October 8, 1950) was an American educator and economist whose theories were especially influential Bates College is a private liberal arts college located in Lewiston Maine, in the United States. Bowdoin College, founded in 1794 is a private liberal arts college located in the coastal New England town of Brunswick, Maine. The State of Maine ( is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean

Contrary to popular belief, the college did not grow out of student revolts and experimentation, but out of a desire to provide a "more flexible, individualized approach to a rigorous liberal arts education. "[10] Founded explicitly in reaction to the "prevailing model of East Coast, Ivy League education," the college's lack of varsity athletics, fraternities, and exclusive social clubs — as well as its coeducational, nonsectarian, and egalitarian status — gave way to an intensely academic and intellectual college whose purpose was to devote itself to "the life of the mind. The Ivy League is an Athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. In the United States and Canada, varsity sports teams are the principal athletic teams representing a College, University, High Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal Mixed-sex education, (or just Mixed education) also known as Coeducation, is the integrated education to males and females at the same school facilities Nonsectarian, in its most literal sense refers to a lack of Sectarianism. Egalitarianism (derived from the French word égal, meaning equal) is a political doctrine that holds that all people should be treated as equals and have "[11]

The college holds a reputation for the progressive[12] and anti-authoritarian leanings of its community.

Distinguishing features

According to Yale sociologist Burton Clark, Reed is one of the most unusual institutions of higher learning in the United States,[13] featuring a traditional liberal arts and natural sciences curriculum. Sociology (from Latin: socius "companion" and the suffix -ology "the study of" from Greek λόγος lógos "knowledge" The United States of America —commonly referred to as the It requires freshmen to take Humanities 110 — an intensive introduction to the Classics, covering ancient Greece and Rome as well as the Bible and ancient Jewish history.

Its program in the sciences is likewise unusual — Reed's TRIGA research reactor makes it the only school in the United States to have a nuclear reactor operated almost entirely by undergraduates. The Reed Research Reactor (RRR is a research Nuclear reactor located on-campus at Reed College in Portland OR. This article is a subarticle of Nuclear power. A nuclear reactor is a device in which Nuclear chain reactions are initiated controlled [4] Reed also requires all students to complete a thesis (a two-semester-long research project conducted under the guidance of professors) during the senior year as a prerequisite of graduation, and passing a junior qualifying exam at the end of the junior year is a prerequisite to beginning the thesis. Upon completion of the senior thesis, students must also pass an oral exam that may encompass questions not only about the thesis, but also about any course previously taken.

Reed maintains a 10:1 student-to-faculty ratio,[14] and its small classes emphasize a "conference" style, in which the teacher often acts as a mediator for discussion rather than a lecturer. While large lecture-style classes exist, Reed emphasizes its smaller lab and conference sections.

Reed has no fraternities, sororities, or NCAA sports teams, although physical education classes (which range from kayaking to juggling) are required for graduation. Fraternities and sororities (from the Latin words la frater and la soror, meaning "brother" and "sister" respectively are fraternal The National Collegiate Athletic Association ( NCAA, often pronounced "N-C-Double-A" is a voluntary association of about 1200 institutions conferences organizations Kayaking is the use of a Kayak for moving across water Kayaking is generally differentiated from Canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of Juggling is a physical human skill involving the movement of objects usually through the air for entertainment (see Object manipulation) Reed also has several intercollegiate athletic teams, most notably the Rugby, Fencing, and Ultimate Frisbee teams.

What this means is that a community governed by an honor principle is a community not of rules and procedures but of virtue. As such, it is a community of unfreedom. There is no protected realm; one can never take refuge in, seek protection from, or hide behind a doctrine of rights. Anything that anyone does is, in principle, subject to evaluation. Was it a virtuous thing to do? Was it consistent with notions of honorableness? Does it contribute to the well-being of the community? Is it the kind of behavior that we value and wish to encourage? In the absence of rights, behavior that we do not wish to value and do not wish to encourage has absolutely no protection.
Peter J. Steinberger, Dean of the Faculty[15]

Reed's ethical code is known as "The Honor Principle". [16] First introduced as an agreement to promote ethical academic behavior, with the explicit end of relieving the faculty of the burden of policing student behavior, the Honor Principle was extended to cover all aspects of student life. While inspired by traditional honor systems, Reed's Honor Principle differs from these in that it is a guide for ethical standards themselves, not just their enforcement. An honor system or honesty system is a philosophical way of running a variety of endeavors based on trust, Honor, and Honesty. Under the Honor Principle, there are no codified rules governing behavior. Rather, the onus is on students individually and as a community to define which behaviors are acceptable and which are not.

Discrete cases of grievance, known as "Honor Cases", are adjudicated by a Judicial Board, which consists of nine full-time students. There is also an "Honor Council," which consists of students, faculty, and staff, designed to educate the community and mediate conflict between individuals.

Academic program

Reed categorizes its academic program into five Divisions and the Humanities program. Overall, Reed offers five Humanities courses, twenty-six department majors, twelve interdisciplinary majors, six dual-degree programs with other colleges and universities, and programs for pre-medical and pre-veterinary students. The humanities are academic disciplines which study the Human condition, using methods that are primarily Analytic, Critical, or Speculative

Humanities program

Reed President Richard Scholz in 1922 called the educational program as a whole "an honest effort to disregard old historic rivalries and hostilities between the sciences and the arts, between professional and cultural subjects, and, . . . the formal chronological cleavage between the graduate and the undergraduate attitude of mind. "[17] The Humanities program, which came into being in 1943 (as the union of two year-long courses, one in "world" literature, the other in "world" history) is one manifestation of this effort. The most recent change to the program was the addition of a course in Chinese Civilization in 1995.

Reed's Humanities program includes the mandatory freshman course Introduction to Western Humanities covering ancient Greek and Roman literature, history, art, religion, and philosophy. The term ancient Greece refers to the period of Greek history lasting from the Greek Dark Ages ca Ancient Rome was a Civilization that grew out of a small agricultural community founded on the Italian Peninsula as early as the 10th century BC Sophomores may take Early Modern Europe covering Renaissance thought and literature; Modern Humanities covering the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, and Modernism, and/or Foundations of Chinese Civilization.

Interdisciplinary and dual-degree programs

Reed also offers interdisciplinary programs in American studies, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Chemistry/Physics, Classics/Religion, Dance/Theatre, History/Literature, International and Comparative Policy Studies (ICPS), Literature/Theatre, Mathematics/Economics, and Mathematics/Physics.

Reed offers dual-degree programs in Applied Physics (with OHSU/OGI), Computer Science (with University of Washington), Engineering (with Caltech and others), Environmental Science (with Duke University), and Fine Art (with the Pacific Northwest College of Art).

Admissions and student demographics

Eliot Hall
Eliot Hall

Until the late 1990s, Reed accepted a larger percentage of total applicants than peer institutions — 76% in 1996. This led to high levels of attrition (drop-outs) during that period. [18] Since then the number of applicants for freshman admission has increased sharply. [19] Since 2002, Reed's attrition rate has moved toward that of peer institutions, and the five-year graduation rate (72% for the 2000/2001 entering class) now exceeds the national average.

In 2008, the applicant pool for the class of 2012 reached an all-time high of 3,484 students with 1,110 admitted for the 325 available freshman spaces. The number of applicants has increased by 103% since 2000. In 2008, 31. 9% of applicants were accepted. The class of 2012's average combined Math and Verbal SAT scores were 1409 and high school GPA was 4.

[20]

Reed's student body is 45% male and 55% female, and includes 22% minority students: 3% self-report as Black (including African-American, African, and Afro-Caribbean); 6% as Hispanic; 9% as Asian, 2% Native American, and 2% Mixed/Other. [21] Minority numbers include some of the 7% international citizens (13% of freshmen did not self-report their ethnicity). In the class of 2010, 38% of students are from the United States's West Coast (California, Oregon, Washington), with the most coming from California. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. Washington ( is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

Tuition and finances

The total base cost for the 2007-2008 academic year, including tuition, fees and room-and-board, is $45,880. [22] In recent years between 50% and 60% of students have received financial aid from the college. [23] In 2004 (the most recent data available), 1. 4% of Reed graduates defaulted on their student loans[24] -- below the national average of 5. 1%. [25]

Reed's endowment as of June 30, 2006 was approximately $400 million, below the median of about $500m for comparable schools, and well below Amherst and Swarthmore's approximately one billion dollar endowments. Events 350 - Roman usurper Nepotianus, of the Constantinian dynasty, is defeated and killed by troops of the Usurper Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. However, on a per-student basis, Reed's $265,000 per student is only slightly below the median. Reed's endowment contributes 22% of its operating expenses (tuition contributes 72% and the balance is from grants and annual gifts).

Rankings

Main article: Criticism of college and university rankings (North America)

In 1995 Reed College refused to participate in the U.S. News and World Report "best colleges" rankings, making it the first educational institution in the United States to refuse to participate in college rankings. Criticism of College and university rankings refers to movements which developed among faculty and administrators in American Institutions of Higher Education as USNews & World Report is an influential weekly American Newsmagazine published in Washington D According to Reed's Office of Admissions:

“ Reed College has actively questioned the methodology and usefulness of college rankings ever since the magazine's best-colleges list first appeared in 1983, despite the fact that the issue ranked Reed among the top ten national liberal arts colleges. Reed's concern intensified with disclosures in 1994 by the Wall Street Journal about institutions flagrantly manipulating data in order to move up in the rankings in U. S. News and other popular college guides. This led Reed's then-president Steven Koblik to inform the editors of U. S. News that he didn't find their project credible, and that the college would not be returning any of their surveys. [26] ”

[29] In discussing Reed's decision, President Colin Diver wrote in an article for the November 2005 issue of the Atlantic Monthly, "by far the most important consequence of sitting out the rankings game, however, is the freedom to pursue our own educational philosophy, not that of some newsmagazine.

Political

Old Dorm Block
Old Dorm Block

Reed has a reputation for being politically left-wing. [12] Whether in fact Reed's student body is more leftist than those of similar colleges is difficult to determine, but Reed's academic tradition of open and passionate debate often spills into the off-campus political arena and, combined with the freewheeling social environment, often leads to the appearance of radical leftism.

During the McCarthy era of the 1950s, then-President Duncan Ballantine fired Marxist philosopher Stanley Moore, a tenured professor, for his failure to cooperate with the HUAC investigation. McCarthyism is a term describing the intense anti-communist suspicion in the United States in a period that lasted roughly from the late 1940s to the late 1950s The House Committee on Un-American Activities ( HUAC or HCUA 1938–1975 was an investigative committee of the United States House of Representatives. [36][37] According to an article in the college's alumni magazine, "because of the decisive support expressed by Reed's faculty, students, and alumni for the three besieged teachers and for the principle of academic freedom, Reed College's experience with McCarthyism stands apart from that of most other American colleges and universities. Elsewhere in the academic world both tenured and untenured professors with alleged or admitted communist party ties were fired with relatively little fuss or protest. At Reed, however, opposition to the political interrogations of the teachers was so strong that some believed the campus was in danger of closure. "[38] A statement of "regret" by the Reed administration and Board of Trustees was published in 1981, formally revising the judgment of the 1954 trustees. In 1993, then-President Steve Koblik invited Moore to visit the College, and in 1995 the last surviving member of the Board that fired Moore expressed his regret and apologized to him. [39]

Drug use

Since the 1960s, Reed has had a reputation for tolerating open drug use among its students,[40] and the 1998 Princeton Review listed Reed as the number-three school in the "reefer madness" category. The Princeton Review (TPR is an American educational preparation company [41] The Insider's Guide to the Colleges, written by the staff of Yale Daily News, also notes an impression among students of institutional permissiveness: "according to students, the school does not bust students for drug or alcohol use unless they cause harm or embarrassment to another student. The Insider's Guide to the Colleges is a college educational guide which has been published annually by the student editorial staff of the Yale Daily News The Yale Daily News is a Newspaper published by Yale University students in New Haven Connecticut since January 28, 1878 "[42]

The Reed Psychology Department has conducted an ongoing survey since 1999 regarding both drug use and perceptions of drug use on the Reed campus. [43] The study found that the perceived level of drug use was exaggerated: in particular, the perceived use of marijuana at Reed is once a week while the actual reported use is 50% once a month or more often. (However, on average, only 21% of the national college student population report having used the drug within the last month. )[44]

Campus

A. E. Doyle's 1920 Master Plan
A. E. Doyle's 1920 Master Plan

The Reed College campus was established on a southeast Portland tract of land known in 1910 as Crystal Springs Farm, a part of the Ladd Estate, formed in the 1870s from original land claims. Portland is a city located in the Northwestern United States, near the Confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers The college's grounds include 116 contiguous acres, including a wooded wetland known as Reed canyon (see below).

Portland architect A. E. Doyle developed a plan modeled on Oxford University's St. Albert Ernest Doyle (1877-1928 was a prolific Architect in the U The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the John's College that was never implemented in full. The original campus buildings (including the Library, the Old Dorm Block, and what is now the primary administration building, Eliot Hall) are brick Tudor Gothic buildings in a style similar to Ivy League campuses. The Tudor style in architecture is the final development of medieval architecture during the Tudor period (1485&ndash1603 and even beyond for conservative college The Ivy League is an Athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. In contrast, the science section of campus, including the physics, biology, and psychology (originally chemistry) buildings, were designed in the Modernist style. This article is concerned with architectural aspects of Modernism; for the most recent developments in architecture see Contemporary architecture. The Psychology Building, completed in 1949, was designed by famed Modernist architect Pietro Belluschi at the same time as his celebrated Equitable Building in downtown Portland. Pietro Belluschi ( August 18 1899 — February 14 1994) was a Portland Oregon architect

The campus and buildings have undergone several phases of growth, and there are now twenty-one academic and administrative buildings and eighteen residence halls. Since 2004, Reed's campus has expanded to include adjacent properties beyond its historic boundaries, such as the Birchwood Apartments complex and former medical administrative offices on either side of SE 28th Avenue, and the Parker House, across SE Woodstock from Prexy. At the same time the Willard House (donated to Reed in 1964), across from the college's main entrance at SE Woodstock and SE Reed College Place, was converted from faculty housing to administrative use. Reed announced on July 13, 2007, that it had purchased the Rivelli farm, a 1. 5-acre (0. 0061 km²) tract of land south of the Garden House and west of Botsford Drive. Reed’s "immediate plans for the acquired property include housing a small number of students in the former Rivelli home during the 2007–08 academic year. Longer term, the college anticipates that it may seek to develop the northern portion of the property for additional student housing". [45]

Reed also owns more than a dozen homes adjacent to the campus that are used to house new and visiting faculty.

Residence halls

The Old Dorm Block
The Old Dorm Block

Reed houses about 800 students in twelve residence halls on campus and several college-owned houses and apartment buildings on or adjacent to campus. Residence halls on campus range from the traditional (i. e. , Gothic Old Dorm Block, referred to as "ODB") to the eclectic (i. e. , Anna Mann, a Tudor-style cottage built in the 1920s by Reed's founding architect A. E. Doyle, originally used as a women's hall[46]), language houses (Spanish, Russian, French, German, and Chinese), "temporary" housing, built in the 1960s (Cross Canyon - Chittick, Woodbridge, McKinley, Griffin), to more recently built dorms (Bragdon, Naito, Sullivan). There are also theme residence halls including everything from substance-free living to a cat residence hall. The college's least-loved complex (as measured by applications to the College's housing lottery), MacNaughton and Foster-Scholz, is known on campus as "Asylum Block" because of its post-World War II modernist architecture and interior spaces dominated by long, straight corridors lined with identical doors, said by students to resemble that of an insane asylum. A psychiatric hospital (previously called insane asylum, mental hospital; or derogatorily looney bin, nut house or Funny Farm) is [47] Until 2006, it was thought that these residence halls had been designed by architect Pietro Belluschi. Pietro Belluschi ( August 18 1899 — February 14 1994) was a Portland Oregon architect

Under the 10-year Campus Master Plan adopted in 2006, Foster-Scholz is scheduled to be demolished and replaced, and MacNaughton to be remodeled. [48] Reed also plans to raise the number of students it can house on campus to 900 or 950, while maintaining the overall student body at approximately its current size. According to the new master plan, "The College's goal is to provide housing on or adjacent to the campus that accommodates 75% of the [full-time equivalent] student population. At present, the College provides on-campus housing for 838 students. "[48] At the 2007–2008 enrollment level of 1464 undergraduate students, meeting the master plan’s goal would require in all about 1100 spaces on campus — approximately 300 more spaces than the College currently provides.

In Spring 2007, the College broke ground on the construction of a new quadrangle with four new residence halls on the northwest side of the campus, scheduled for completion by Fall 2008. A new Spanish House residence is slated to be completed in early 2009. Together, the five new residences will add 142 beds. [46] This will still leave Reed about 150 beds short of providing housing for 75% of undergraduates on campus assuming that overall enrollment remains steady.

Reed Canyon

The Blue Bridge
The Blue Bridge

The Reed College Canyon, a natural area and national wildlife preserve, bisects the campus, separating the academic buildings from many of the residence halls (the so called cross-canyon halls). Crystal Springs Rhododendron Gardens (949 acres are Botanical gardens located on SE 28 Avenue between Eastmoreland Golf Course and Reed College, in Portland The canyon is filled by Crystal Creek Springs, a natural spring that drains into Johnson Creek. A spring is a point where Groundwater flows out of the ground and is thus where the Aquifer surface meets the ground surface Johnson Creek is a 25-mile (40 km tributary of the Willamette River in the Portland metropolitan area of the U [49]

Canyon Day, a tradition spanning more than ninety years, is held once a semester. On Canyon Day students and Reed neighbors join canyon crew workers to spend a day helping with restoration efforts. [50]

A landmark of the campus, the Blue Bridge, spans the canyon. The Blue Bridge (known as the Cross Canyon Bridge until fall 2001 is a curved pedestrian and bicycle bridge It appears on almost every viewbook that the college circulates. This bridge replaced the unique cantilevered bridge that served in that spot between 1959 and 1991, which "featured stressed plywood girders — the first time this construction had been used on a span of this size: a straight bridge 132 feet (40 m) long and 15 feet (4. 6 m) high. It attracted great architectural interest during its lifetime. "[51]

A new pedestrian and bicycle bridge spanning the canyon will open by Fall 2008. This bridge will be 370 feet (110 m) long, about a third longer than the Blue Bridge, and "will connect the new north campus quad to Gray Campus Center, the student union, the library, and academic buildings on the south side of campus. "[46]

Douglas F. Cooley Gallery

Reed's Cooley Gallery is an internationally recognized contemporary art space located at the entrance to Reed's Hauser Library. It was established in 1988 as the result of a gift from Susan and Edward Cooley in honor of their late son. [52] The Cooley Gallery has exhibited international artists such as Mona Hatoum, Al Held, Marko Lulic and Gregory Crewdson as well as the contemporary art collection of Michael Ovitz. Mona Hatoum (born 1952 is a Performance artist and Installation artist of Palestinian origin who lives in London Al Held ( October 12, 1928 &ndash July 27, 2005) was an American Abstract expressionist painter. Gregory Crewdson Michael S Ovitz (b December 14 1946, Los Angeles California) is a former talent agent and Hollywood powerhouse who served as the head of the [53] In pursuit of its mission to support the curriculum of the art, art history, and humanities programs at Reed, the gallery produces three or four exhibitions each year, along with lectures, colloquia, and artist visits. The gallery is currently under the directorship of Stephanie Snyder,[54] who succeeded founding director Susan Fillin-Yeh in 2004.

Food services

The cafeteria, known simply as "Commons", has a reputation for ecologically sustainable food services. Due to the nature of the student body, vegan and vegetarian dishes feature heavily on the menu. It is currently the only cafeteria on the small campus. Off-campus students and others who choose not to purchase a meal plan are seen at mealtimes scrounging for free food from on-campus students and their leftovers, a practice that has persisted (despite periodic complaints) for decades.

The Reed College Co-op is a theme residence hall located in the Garden House, after being located for many years on first floor of the MacNaughton building. It is the only campus residence that is independent of the school's board plan. This floor usually houses twelve to sixteen students who purchase and prepare food together for all meals, sharing chores and conducting weekly, consensus-based meetings. It is a close community valuing sustainability, organic food, consensus-based decisions, self-government, music, and plants.

The Paradox ("Est. in the 80s") is a cooperative student-run coffee shop located on campus. In 2003 a second cafe, dubbed the "Paradox Lost" (an allusion to John Milton's Paradise Lost), opened at the southern end of the biology building, in the space commonly called the "Bio Fishbowl. John Milton ( 9 December, 1608 – 8 November, 1674) was an English Poet, Prose Polemicist and Paradise Lost is an Epic poem in Blank verse by the 17th-century English poet John Milton. " The new north-campus dorms, opening in Fall 2008, will include yet another small cafe, thereby providing three coffee shops within a 116-acre (0. 47 km²) campus. However, this third location will not be student run. Instead, it will be handled by an outside catering service.

Off-campus housing

Reed also has off-campus housing. Many houses in the Woodstock and Eastmoreland Portland neighborhoods are traditionally rented to Reed students (some landlords find it hard to rent to anyone else after renting to Reedies). The Woodstock neighborhood of Portland Oregon is located in the city's inner southeast section Eastmoreland is an old and tree-filled neighborhood in inner south-east Portland Oregon. These "Reed houses" are known by nicknames such as the Big Pink, the Cube, the Roost, the Fridge, the Hottboxx, the Letter H, the Blue and Purple, the Dustbin, the Red Door, the Red Barn, Eden House, Yellow House, and the Miracle.

Icons and student life

Griffin

The official mascot of Reed is the griffin. The griffin is a Legendary creature with the body of a Lion and the head and often wings of an Eagle. In mythology, the griffin often pulled the chariot of the sun; in Dante's Commedia the gryphon is associated (CANTO XXXII) with the Tree of Knowledge. Commedia dell'Arte ( Italian: "the comedy of artists" is a form of Improvisational theatre that began in Italy in the 16th century The griffin was featured on the coat-of-arms of founder Simeon Reed[3] and is now on the official seal of Reed College.

School color

The official school color of Reed is Richmond Rose[55]. Over the years, institutional memory of this fact has faded and the color appearing on the school's publications and merchandise has darkened to a shade of maroon. The most common examples of "Richmond Rose" are the satin tapes securing the degree certificate inside a Reed College diploma.

School song

The school song, "Fair Reed," is sung to the tune of the 1912 popular song "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms. " It was composed by former president William Trufant Foster shortly after Reed's founding, and is rarely heard today. William Trufant Foster ( January 18, 1879 - October 8, 1950) was an American educator and economist whose theories were especially influential [56]

Student nickname

Reed students and alumni referred to themselves as "Reedites" in the early years of the college. This term faded out in favor of the now ubiquitous "Reedie" after World War II. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including [57] Around campus, prospective students are called "prospies. "

Unofficial mottos and folklore

An unofficial motto of Reed is "Communism, Atheism, Free Love", and can be found in the Reed College Bookstore on sweaters, t-shirts, etc. A motto (from the Italian word motto, meaning witticism sentence is a phrase meant to formally describe the general motivation or intention of a social group It was a label that the Reed community claimed from critics during the 1920s as a "tongue-in-cheek slogan" in reference to Reed's nonconformism. Nonconformism is the refusal to conform to common standards conventions rules customs traditions norms or laws Reed's founding president William T. Foster's outspoken opposition against the entrance of the United States into World War I, as well as the college's support for feminism, its adherence to academic freedom (i. World War I (abbreviated WWI; also known as the First World War, the Great War, and the War to End All Feminism is a discourse that involves various movements theories, and Philosophies which are concerned with the issue of Gender difference, advocate e. inviting a leader of the Socialist Party of America to speak on campus about the Russian revolution’s potential impact on militarism, emancipation of women, and ending the persecution of Jews), and its nonsectarian status made the college a natural target for what was originally meant to be a pejorative slur. The Socialist Party of America (SPA was a socialist Political party in the United States. See also Russian Revolution (1905 The Russian Revolution of 1916 refers to a series of popular revolutions in Russia, and the events surrounding them Militarism is the belief or desire of a government or people that a country should maintain a strong military capability and be prepared to use it aggressively to defend or Nonsectarian, in its most literal sense refers to a lack of Sectarianism. [58][59]

An alternative motto appeared on shirts in the late 1980s as "Capitalism, Avarism, and Free Beer", but never overtook the original in popularity. A small group of students has recently been petitioning the bookstore to update the shirts' text to read, "Socialism, Agnosticism, Safe Sex", a comment on the increasingly moderate (though still quite radical) predominating values of the student body. Additionally, the punning "Reed: You Might Learn Something" was a popular slogan in the mid-1980s.

Faux Reed Seal
Faux Reed Seal

Another popular characterization was from a letter to the local newspaper, in which Reed students were said to resemble "unmade beds" which provided a subject for creating special Reed occasion costumes.

Every year's Reed College Student Handbook (a manual on student life written by students, not to be confused with the College Handbook, which is written by college officials) contains a test called the "Reed College Immorality Quotient" that tests an individual's immorality on topics such as sex, theft, and drug use. Morality (from the Latin la moralitas "manner character proper behavior" has three principal meanings Sexual intercourse, in its biological sense is the act in which the male reproductive organ (in humans and other higher animals enters the female reproductive tract In Criminal law, theft (also known as stealing or filching) is the illegal taking of another person's Property without that person's freely-given Drugs can be used in many different ways as detailed below Medication See also Medication People can use drugs to relieve pain or discomfort or to cure

One of the unofficial symbols of Reed is the Doyle Owl, a roughly 280 pound (127 kg) concrete statue that has been continuously stolen and re-stolen since 1913. The Doyle Owl is the unofficial mascot of Reed College. It is a roughly three-foot high 300 pound (136 kg concrete statue of an Owl that originally occupied the The on-campus folklore of events surrounding the Doyle Owl is sufficiently large that, in 1983, a senior thesis was written on the topic of the Owl's oral history. Oral history can be defined as the recording preservation and interpretation of historical information, based on the personal experiences and opinions of the speaker The original Doyle Owl was almost certainly destroyed many years ago, but a number of replicas (of varying degrees of quality) remain in circulation, contributing to the frequency of its appearance.

Well-known on-campus myths claim there is an intact MG under the concrete foundation of the college library, an underground primate lab working exclusively with snow monkeys under the Psychology building (the legend states that the presence of this lab was discovered when a snow monkey escaped into the Canyon and necessitated the closing of the facility), and a four-story lab/habitation arcology under the Physics building. MG is a British Sports car brand founded in 1924 MG is best known for two-seat open sports cars but MG also produced saloons and Coupés The Japanese Macaque ( Macaca fuscata) also known as the Snow Monkey, is a terrestrial Old World monkey species native to Japan, although There is some dispute over whether this article should document both the meaning of this term as used in popular fiction as well as its technical meaning in the field of architecture or There are many other such stories, often referred to as "Reed legends".

Paideia

During the week before the beginning of second-semester classes, the campus undergoes Paideia (drawn from the Greek). In Ancient Greek, the word Paideia (παιδεία means "education" or "instruction This "festival of learning" takes the form of a week (although originally a whole month) of classes and seminars put on by anyone who wishes to teach, including students, professors, staff members, and outside educators invited on-campus by members of the Reed Community. Many such classes are explicitly silly (one long-running tradition is to hold an "Underwater Basket Weaving" class), while others are trivially educational (such as "Giant Concrete Gnome Construction", a class that, incidental to building monolithic gnomes, includes some content relating to the construction of pre-Christian monoliths). A gnome is a Mythical creature characterized by its extremely small size and subterranean lifestyle A monolith is a geological feature such as a Mountain, consisting of a single massive stone or rock or a single piece of rock placed as or within a monument Genuine classes (such as martial arts seminars and mini-classes on obscure academic topics), tournaments, and film festivals round out the "class" list, which is different every year. Martial arts are systems of codified practices and traditions of training for Combat. The objective of Paideia is not only to learn new (possibly non-useful) things, but to turn the tables on students and encourage them to teach.

In his 2005 Stanford commencement lecture, Apple Computer founder and Reed drop out Steve Jobs credited a Reed calligraphy class for his focus on choosing quality typefaces for the Macintosh. Apple Inc, ( formerly Apple Computer Inc, is an American Multinational corporation with a focus on designing and manufacturing Consumer electronics Dropping out means leaving a group for either practical reasons necessities or disillusionment with the system from which the individual in question leaves Steven Paul Jobs (born February 24 1955 is the Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc and former CEO of Pixar Animation Calligraphy (from Greek kallos "beauty" + graphẽ "writing" is the art of writing (Mediavilla 1996 17 Macintosh, commonly nicknamed Mac is a Brand name which covers several lines of Personal computers designed developed and marketed by Apple Inc [60] While the full calligraphy course is no longer taught at Reed, Paideia usually features a short course on the subject.

Renn Fayre

A student-made katamari at the 2006 Renn Fayre

Renn Fayre is an annual three-day celebration at Reed with a different theme each year. is a third-person puzzle-action Video game that is published and developed by Namco for the PlayStation 2 Video game console. Born in the 1960s as an actual renaissance fair, it has long since lost all connection to anachronism and the Renaissance, although its name has persisted. A Renaissance fair, Renaissance faire, or Renaissance festival is an outdoor weekend gathering usually held in the United States, open to the public and The Renaissance (from French Renaissance, meaning "rebirth" Italian: Rinascimento, from re- "again" and nascere

Renn Fayre commences with the Thesis Parade, where graduating seniors make a symbolic march to deliver their theses to the registrar and a fiery pit to burn the year's notes. Students, faculty, and staff gather at the entrance to the library where chaos, champagne, and fireworks get the party started. The parade commences when the senior class moves through the library and out through what was the library's original front entrance (now an emergency exit).

The Fayre runs from Friday to Sunday, beginning on the last day of classes for the spring semester. The week after Renn Fayre is Reading Week, in which no classes are held; final examinations are held in the following week.

Renn Fayre is often called the metaphorical explosion of the student body after a year of intense pressure. Traditions and events include bizarre art installations, bug-eating contests, the alumni Meat Smoke, a naked Slip 'n Slide, occasional motorized couches, fireworks, naked people painting themselves blue (a tribute to the ancient Picts), a beer garden, the Glo Opera (performed at night by actors in EL wire-covered suits), a zip-line across Reed Canyon, lube wrestling, full-contact human chess, parachuters, the midnight "ball drop" (hundreds of bouncy balls are released down an inclined street that runs in front of the College), castle-storming and bike-jousting by members of C.H.U.N.K. 666, and a general sense of mayhem. The Slip 'N Slide is a Toy manufactured by Wham-O, first introduced in 1961 The Picts were a Confederation of tribes in what was later to become eastern and northern Scotland from Roman times until the 10th century Beer garden derieves from the German name "Biergarten" and is an open-air area where beverages (preferably beer and prepared food are served Electroluminescent wire (often abbreviated to EL wire) is a thin Copper wire coated in a Phosphor which glows when an AC Voltage CHUNK 666 (or CHUNK 666, CHVNK DCLXVI) is a Tall bike and Chopper bicycle club based in Portland Oregon and Brooklyn Serious injuries are rare, thanks in part to the non-profit White Bird Clinic, and the presence of vigilant student volunteers (the "Karma Patrol" stays sober, distributes bagels, and ensures the wellness of Renn Fayre participants, while the "Border Patrol" sees to the exclusion of unauthorized visitors).

Student participation is almost unanimous; faculty and staff also attend some of the festivities. Alumni and authorized guests may also participate.

Student organizations

According to Reed's website, each semester, a $115 student body fee "is collected from each full-time student by the business office, acting as agent for the student senate. The fee underwrites publication of the student newspaper and extracurricular activities, and partially supports the student union and ski cabin. " [61] Student body funds (totalling roughly $330,000 annually) are distributed each semester to groups that place among the top 40 organizations in the semester's funding poll. The funding poll uses a voting system in which each organization provides a description that is ranked by each member of the student body with either 'top six', 'approve', 'no opinion', 'disapprove' or 'deep six. ' These ranks are then tabulated by assigning numbers to each rank and summing across all voters. [62] Afterwards, the top forty organizations present their budgets to the student body senate during Funding Circus. The following day the senate makes decisions about each budget in a process called Funding Hell.

The school's student-run newspaper, the Quest, has been published since 1913, and its radio station, KRRC (FM), has been broadcasting, with a few interruptions, since 1955. [63][64]

Most organizations are highly informal, although some that partner with outside groups such as Oxfam or Planned Parenthood are more structured. Oxfam International is a confederation of 13 organizations working with over 3000 partners in more than 100 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice Planned Parenthood is the collective name of organizations worldwide who are members of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF The Reed archive of comic books and graphic novels, the MLLL (Comic Book Reading Room), is well into its fourth decade, and Beer Nation, the student group that organizes and manages various beer gardens throughout the year and during Renn Fayre, has existed for many years. A comic book (often shortened to simply comic and sometimes called a comic paper or comic magazine) is a Magazine or Book of narrative A Beer garden derieves from the German name "Biergarten" and is an open-air area where beverages (preferably beer and prepared food are served Reed College is a private, independent Liberal arts college located in southeast Portland Oregon. Some organizations, such as the Motorized Couch Collective – dedicated to installing motors and wheels into furniture – have become more Reed myth than reality in recent years.
