Vassar & Middlebury are more liberal than is Hamilton College. But, in my view, Vassar & Middlebury are more interesting schools.

Is there a small college with more interesting and influential alumni than Hamilton? Consider graduates Bristol and Myers (who established their company in Clinton), Elihu Root (cabinet member and Nobel Prize winner), Ezra Pound (poet with few true peers), Charles Webb (Our Town newspaper editor), Alexander Woollcott (Algonquin Round Table), Alex Osborn (“brainstorming”), B.F. Skinner (pre-eminent, maverick American psychologist), Thomas Meehan (Annie playwright), William Masters (sex researcher), Paul Greengard (Nobel Prize winner), Melinda Wagner (Pulitzer Prize winning composer) et al.
