Reply #12: I went to Kirkland College, Clinton, NY

It was for women, started by Hamilton College, a college for men which dated from the 1700s. We could take courses at either school, since the campuses were adjacent and we shared a lot of facilities. But the disparate educational philosophies didn't work well together and it was a rough time for schools, financially. They didn't have much luck raising money from alumnae, since nobody was even 30. I've often wondered if Hamilton planned this, since there was a lot of opposition to admitting women from the all-male alumni. Now it's all one school...:-(
