Just talking about hippies today. My daughter has become enamored of
Simon's Rock College of Bard (Mass). Looking at the Princeton Review, the
folks at this place would consider hippies as uptight right wingers.
Anyone heard of this school?

Yup. Very small, very liberal. Beautiful location. Attracts rich, arty
kids from NYC who want to go to school 'in the country' (not that there's
anything wrong with that). There's a nice trout stream running through
town - unfortunately full of PCBs, but that makes for some nice holdovers.
Very good micro brewery. The stream turns into a great smallie river just
across the CT border... OK, I know the river better than I know the
school - this isn't alt.liberal.arts.college.review, is it?

She should also check out Hampshire College - another super liberal school,
but part of the 5 College Consortium so she could take classes at Mt.
Holyoke, Smith, Amherst or UMass. Also near a couple of nice trout streams
and a good little tailwater.

See, you knew all that moose stew would pay off somehow...
