They were doing the original Gothic romances, the ones that Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters read (really silly stuff) like 'The Castle of Otranto' by Horace Walpole in 1764.

And I totally get the education thing, that is one of the huge advantages of choices of colleges, because so many of us are looking for different things. And Colorado College IS an amazing school (one of my very best friends went there and I went to visit a couple of times, but it was important to call it The Colorado College at the time).
