Description

“The Kremlin on the Krum.”
~ Spiro Agnew on Swarthmore College

Swarthmore College is a small communist insurgent training facility found in the metropolitan area of Swarthmore.

Swarthmore College was founded in 1923 by a small group of spies from the recently created Soviet Union. They were acting as part of a larger communist plot in conjunction with various agents in place around the country in various political, social, and civil positions whose goal was to bring about unrest with the capitalistic system among the proletariat so as to drive them to overthrow the corrupt bourgeoisie. Swarthmore College immediately began this by teaching "liberal arts" to the youth of the country, manipulating their minds to see the glory of American capitalism as a dangerous thing. As evident from the class of 1927, the communist agents were widely successful in their goals.

Review by PJABBER on 12/2/2024.
Used to live right by the campus, took lots of on-campus walks there, so it was fun to play this out! The college was founded by Quakers in 1864, not Soviet spies, and is one of the earliest coeducational colleges in the United States. It is, as can be inferred by the humorous yet somewhat appropriate map description, certainly quite "liberal." Offering an excellent classical and engineering education, one that has generated six Nobel Prize winners, Swarthmore is quite unique, with few peers among American universities. Among the most expensive undergraduate-only colleges, students are admitted without consideration of ability to pay and those in need are funded by grants, not loans, and thus graduate without student debt. Worth checking out if you are brilliant and about to graduate high school.
