...college. The atmosphere, more like camp than summer school, encourages cooperation, rather than competition, among students. There are no tests, and students work together to solve problems, instead of simply being taught the formula and proofs. In addition to the academics, alumni remember Hampshire for Frisbee, volleyball. Monty Python, juggling, 3 a.m. fire drills, and "vast silliness...
