LAFAYETTE COLLEGE
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, who famously toured of the country in 1824/5, as "a testimony of respect for [his] talents, virtues, and signal services...the great cause of freedom". A group of Easton citizens led by James Madison Porter met on December 27, 1824 at White's Tavern to explore the possibility of opening a college. The recent visit of the General Lafayette to New York during his grand tour of the US in 1824 and 1825 prompted the founders to name the school after the French military officer.
