A small liberal-arts college spread over a wooded hill at the north end of Easton, with about 2700 students. The campus is one of the prettier in the northeast — red-brick Colonial Revival buildings, big oaks, and panoramic views down to the river junction.
Visitors are welcome on the College Hill grounds. The Williams Visual Arts Building at the foot of the hill hosts changing exhibitions, and the Skillman Library has a small museum of college artefacts. The Saturday afternoon football games at Fisher Stadium are an event in their own right; the Lafayette–Lehigh rivalry, "the most played rivalry in college football," dates to 1884.
