The rankings were devised by U.S. News to provide a realistic measure of where students can get the best education for their money.

"My wife and I know first hand what you are going through," Farrington told the freshman parents. "Last year, we too drove our son to college, and then drove away without him. In all of my 20 years of greeting first-year students and their parents, I never really understood how it felt until I did it for myself." He acknowledged that some parents are concerned about how their student will adjust to college and to life away from home. "We (can't) guarantee them safe passage in their coming of age. What we can guarantee is that we will talk openly and honestly with them about the choices they will face—about academics and more personal issues as well, including alcohol, drugs and se-x," he said. He told the parents to be confident that Lehigh works, and to stay in touch with their son or daughter. "Let them bloom," he continued. "Their dreams may be different from yours in some ways. Let them go. Your children are here to learn for themselves how to handle responsibility. Don't fight their battles for them...encourage them to talk with their professor" and to seek help from the support network in student affairs.
