ONE MORE RANKINGS LIST The Campus Squirrel Listings notes that “The quality of an institution of higher learning can often be determined by the size, health and behavior of the squirrel population on campus.” Some colleges go to great lengths to secure a 5-Squirrel rating. (GWU gets a respectable three.). Mary Baldwin College, whose crest features a squirrel, is a shoo-in. Other places, like the United States Naval Academy (“Pro-squirrel would be an understatement for the USNA campus,” a student writes. “After 156 years of Federal Government protection, you've got to expect that these squirrels know they've got a good thing going.”) and Berkeley also get 5 squirrels. As does Rice, whose campus directory features a squirrel on its cover. Hyperexpensive Sarah Lawrence has black squirrels, and sells a t-shirt that says: "Sarah Lawrence College: Where even the squirrels wear black." |
