[[Loren Pope]], former education editor for ''[[The New York Times]],'' writes about Reed in ''[[Colleges That Change Lives]],'' saying, "If you're a genuine intellectual, love the life of the mind, and want to learn for the sake of learning, the place most likely to empower you is not Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Chicago, or Stanford. It is the most intellectual college in the country — Reed in Portland, Oregon."<ref name="lpope">{{cite book | last = Pope | first = Loren | title = Colleges That Change Lives | publisher = [[Penguin Books]] |date=July 2006 | page = [https://archive.org/details/collegesthatchan00pope_0/page/354 354]  | isbn = 0-14-303736-6| title-link = Colleges That Change Lives }}</ref>
