MEMBERS
Students at each of these schools often take classes at the other colleges ("cross-registration" is permitted and often encouraged). Student groups and organizations often draw participants from all five campuses. The colleges' libraries participate in an interlibrary loan program, allowing students, staff, and faculty to take advantage of all five campuses' collections. In addition, several academic programs (for example, Astronomy , Dance , some foreign languages, and Women's Studies {Link without Title} ) are run by the Five Colleges jointly for the benefit of all five institutions. TRIVIA
FIVE-COLLEGE FOLKLORE A popular '' and the TV sitcom '' The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis ''. (Note also that Scooby-Doo premiered in 1969 , before the founding of Hampshire College in 1970 ). The Claremont Colleges , also known as "the five-C's" may have been modeled after the five colleges, although the Claremont colleges didn't account for five schools until the creation of Pitzer College in 1963 . The Five-C's have their own variations of the Scooby Doo analogy, although they do not attribute the creation of the characters to their respective schools. One commonly held version of the analogy associates Daphne with Scripps College , Velma with Harvey Mudd College , Fred with Claremont McKenna College , Shaggy with Pitzer College , and Scooby with Pomona College .
