...destroyers to battleships, ships to planes, and blondes or brunettes to redheads. More than half the men don't smoke, and only a few go through a pack per day. Freshmen and Seniors are ardent Wellesley fans, with Smith winning the Sophomoric hearts and Vassar neck and neck with Bennington for the Juniors. Personality is first and beauty a close second in the qualities Harvard gobs seek when they get in port--except for the Junior class which puts a strong emphasis on so-called "miscellaneous qualities...

According to current folklore, Wellesley girls average prettier but dumber than Radeliffeites. Smith is ditto, but more fun to spend a week-end at. The same goes for Vassar. Bennington combines plenty of art, girls in slacks, lots of liquor, and absolutely no rules--Benningtonties can and do stay out all night. These last three colleges are out of the question unless you own or can borrow...
