Astin, Alexander W. et al. Colleges That Emphasize Research and Teaching: Can You Have Your Cake and Eat It Too? Change, 27 (5): p44-49 Sep-Oct 1995.

Results indicate those that are successful are unique in certain respects that distinguish them from research universities and liberal arts institutions, with selective residential liberal arts colleges typifying those distinctions.
