‘Jeopardy!’ featured a Massachusetts colleges category. Can you run the table?
The "Tournament of Champions" contestants missed one.
As the world revolves around Massachusetts, it’s not much of a surprise to see the Bay State featured in a “Jeopardy!” clue, but on Monday night’s “Tournament of Champions” game, a whole category — “Schooling You in Massachusetts” — was dedicated to colleges here.
Can you ace it? Answers (in the form of questions, of course) are at the bottom.
$400: This women’s college may have a common name, but it boasts some very uncommon alums — Gloria Steinem, Julia Child & Betty Friedan
$800: Original poems & manuscripts are part of the Emily Dickinson collection at the Jones Library of this liberal arts college (a reader notes the Jones Library is actually the town’s library, not the college’s)

$2,000: South Hadley is home to this college, the oldest of the 7 sisters
Answers:
