With +Kay Hill having been accepted at Scripps for the 2018-19 school year, we took advantage of a quiet day to visit the campus. It was all buttoned down for winter break, so we couldn’t go in anything [1], but we walked thoroughly around the campus, which is more beautiful and intricate than I recall from my visits in passing while attending neighboring Pomona and walking through on my way to classes elsewhere.
Fun time. We’re going to try to come out and visit at “Admitted Students Day” in April, when, one hopes, things will be hopping a bit more.

I've heard of the Oceanography Institution, but not the college. The founder was an impressive character.

Yes, I have several times had to follow up a question with, "No, the one down in San Diego is the Oceanographic Institute. This is one of the Claremont Colleges." A somewhat higher percent then nod and go, "Oh, those are pretty campuses."
