Back in the late 70’s when I attended Pomona, there was a 5 College Newspaper called the Collegian. They published a Star Trek cartoon that poked fun at the stereotypes for each of the colleges. I don’t know how valid these stereotypes still are, but at the time, there was more than just an SAT score difference between the students at the colleges, but rather an overall personality difference in the self-selected types of people who chose to attend each college.

The Star Trek cartoon characters were as follows:

Spock - Harvey Mudder
Captain Kirk - CMC’er
Kirk’s love interest - Scrippsie
Dr. McCoy - Pomona nerd
Alien from Kohoutek Comet - Pitzie

This was around the time of the first Pitzer Kohoutek festival, which is still an ongoing tradition. Best rock festival I have ever been to. :)
