Claremont colleges are among the finest in today's America. This video helps me understand the great history of the five undergraduate colleges and two graduate schools. Great narration by Ronald Reagan.
Well said...indeed, the Claremont Colleges (all of them) continue to be at the very top of the most selective college and universities in the United States. In looking at the finest colleges/universities in California, it's the Claremonts, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Cal Tech and UCLA that draw the very best students!
*We all laughed at the idea of Reagan as President, but he turned out to be a **_really_** good one. I can remember back to Eisenhower, and without question, Ronald Reagan was the best we have produced in the 20th Century.*
Pitzer was founded in 1963 (when this video was made) and is the women's college mentioned within this clip that would be opening. Pitzer ultimately became a co-ed college a few years later.
Weird. This film seems a reactionary/revanchist take on the 1960's, but pre-dates most of the social upheaval of the decade. It feels both Eisenhower Cold Warish but also proto-Reagan (not just because he's narrating). It almost screams: "Not Berkeley!" Note: striking crowds (chaos) vs. wholesome 'merican college campus; a 2 min. long diversion into the chaos of the French Revolution.
Africans are 'getting ahead of themselves - too much freedom, too soon' - Yikes! No racism there (/s). Myrlie Evers, widow of Dr. Medgar Evers, attended and taught at the Claremont Colleges, btw.
This student body needs to be upset more about social justice confluences real, or imagined, and offended more by free discussion, and dissenting opinions. Some even appear to be there to actually know when to try & learn something. How offensive!

*Today, Scripps is #30 in the "Best Colleges" ranking. Pretty good.*
The two thumbs down on this video are from people who were denied entry to Claremont...ha ha!
I dont know who found this, but the sound of Ronald Reagan's voice makes me prepared to do some vile things while watching this video

What? Like close down a psychiatric hospital?

What, no Pitzer College?
