Our only complaint is that they require a "marriage document" as part of the application process. Yikes! Please domestic partners get busy here! Activists needed to bring this college up to the present! Willa Cather went here, by the way! Birthplace of Tillie Olsen, whose "I Stand Here Ironing" is the best mom short story ever!
