<p>I don’t think that is right, because the original 10 colleges were all built during the Great Depression from the early 30s to 1940 (Morse and Stiles were built in the 60’s). I think at first that you had to apply to be in a residential college, sort of like a fraternity. As a result, Davenport and JE were probably the elitist WASPy sort of colleges and they recieved huge endowments and Trumbull was probably not nearly as elitist.</p>
