Appears everyone had a decent year. Randolph had a BADLY needed larger class but is not over the hump yet. Good to have all these colleges in the area. It adds a lot. The locals need to discover them a bit more. Lots of good shows, plays, and sports to be seen at low cost.

Thanks for the link, Badger. I thought the comments from SBC were a bit surprising. I was under the impression they enjoyed their exclusivity.

LU has more Honors Program students than Randolph or Sweet Briar has total students.

As Randolph mentioned, you can be too small. I think 1000 is a good minimum. You need enough to have a diversity of classes each term and to pay the bills. It cost about the same to run a school with 600 as a 1000 and that's a lot of tuition money missed. You don't want to see the same faces every day.
