- ALT2 ... that there are two research universities, nine master's universities, and nineteen baccalaureate colleges in the U.S. state of Iowa?
Article expansion and condition are good. ALT1 and 2 are fine; the first hook seems to me to imply a degree of causation that's not quite right; suggest: ... that Loras College, Iowa's oldest post-secondary institution, was founded in 1839, seven years before Iowa became a U.S. state?" instead. Aside from that we're just waiting on a QPQ review. GRAPPLE X 02:43, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
