favorite excerpt of the 1980 edition official preppy handbook, from the list “out of the league” of the ten least preppy colleges:

6. Sarah Lawrence College. Boho city. There are no grades. Students take just three courses a year, and spend most of their time looking for fun in Manhattan. Leotards and fur coats prevail for both sexes. Located in Bronxville, a Prep community, but rumors have it the college is really situated in adjacent Yonkers.
