Die Autorin gibt zunächst einen kurzen Rückblick auf die Geschichte der Women Colleges in den USA, um im Anschluss daran die Institutionengeschichte des Smith College in Northampton/MA im Spiegel der Autobiographie seiner ersten Präsidentin ausführlich darzustellen. Breite Studienangebote und hohe Ambitionen, z.B. auch hinsichtlich der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf, bestimmen nach ihrer Einschätzung das (Selbst- )Bild vom Smith College. Die Atmosphäre am Smith College ist ferner entdramatisiert hinsichtlich der Geschlechterfrage, denn diese spielt eine untergeordnete Rolle unter den Möglichkeiten und Angeboten des Colleges. Das Smith College ist jedoch auch eine Eliteinstitution und hoch-selektive Hochschule, deren Alumnae mit der Vereinbarkeitsfrage vermutlich ähnlich umgehen können wie erfolgreiche Männer, da die Hintergrundarbeit delegierbar ist. Insofern bleiben der Autorin zufolge solange Widersprüche bestehen, wie diese Breite der Lebensentwürfe sich nach wie vor an die Frauen und nicht gleichermaßen an die Männer wendet. (ICI2)

College Town is a graphic novel concept focusing on the life of an individual growing up in a small, rural, circle of towns that are centered around higher education. The story will show how communities in our area have come to rest on three pillars: Education, religion, and politics. It will reveal how they have been deeply intertwined, creating an environment unique to Northwest Iowa. College Town will cover a brief history of Sioux County and will highlight the origins of select churches, schools, and political viewpoints important to Northwest Iowa, specifically around the Sioux Center / Orange City area. This will illustrate how education, religion, and politics have effected each other ever since the foundation of Sioux County, and how they play an important role in people's lives and communities to this day. The story of College Town will convey the hardships and beauty that take place within a higher-education community in Northwest Iowa, and display the joys and repercussions that come from growing up in vigorous educational and religious systems pertaining to that of Sioux County. The panels explore examples of visuals found in College Town. The three pillars are hidden (or not so hidden) in the daily life of a Northwest Iowan.

This Economic Commentary documents the large dispersion in the value of college endowments across institutions and also shows how endowment values have changed over time.
