Are people at northeast liberal arts colleges happy?

That said, having spent a winter in the American North East, I have always wondered why colleges in the area do not invest a little more in mitigating facilities such as warm leisure pools, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, infrared cabins and daylight rooms. It’s all natatoriums and gyms. Is it the Puritan heritage?

You may be right. For most of their history, it was expected that even students from affluent families would live rather ascetic lives while they were students. And there’s no real tradition of saunas, hot spring bathing etc in the region.
