Past history is not an indicator of current/future earnings. Berkeley is
more like "Grinnell Light". Moose would probably fit right in.
When it comes to private colleges, Grinnell is probably one of the more
liberal ones around. But it is a dichotomy because the extremely high wealth
represented by a lot of the student population is from richer people who
tend to be a little more conservative.
