Someone told me that Mrs. Howell went to Vassar -- I have a project seeking out mentions of Vassar College in film and media, sort of to create an ongoing clip library for the college...from Googling around I could find that in the episode Slave Girl there's a joke about MR. Howell having gone to Vassar...does anybody know if there are other episodes that do reference Mrs. Howell as being a student there? If so, which episodes?

Thanks! Post here or email me at daezer@nyc.rr.com

It's from "Ring Around Gilligan." Mr. Howell says to his wife (who, in a hypnotic trance, has just thrown him to the ground), "Mummy warned me about you Vassar girls and your long gym classes!"
