ATDDTA (6) 159

Despite the risk of pedantry, my mother might be disappointed if I didn't
point out that Radcliffe, while no longer an undergraduate college, is not
defunct.  See http://www.radcliffe.edu/.

Apparently the opposite of a Pizza Princess.

  The women's colleges,  Barnard , Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, 
Radcliffe, Smith, Wellesley and Vassar were known as the Seven 
Sisters. They were all founded between 1837 and 1889.   Four are in 
Massachusetts, two in New York, and one is in Pennsylvania.  Five of 
the seven remain women's colleges today;  Radcliffe is defunct and 
Vassar is coed.
