Line 1:
'''Middleton College''' is a small, liberal arts college in [[Lawndale]] where [[Jake Morgendorffer]] and [[Helen Barksdale]] met and began dating during the late 1960s. They graduated in the Class of '72 ("[[The Daria Database]]"). The campus is revisited in "[[College Bored]]," and is referred to a few times through the series. [[Coyote Yeager]] and [[Willow Yeager]] were presumably at Middleton as well, as the four lived in a commune together as students.
 
Jake refers to it as a Morgendorffer "tradition", . We do know [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer]] paid for himJake to go there, when Jake would've likely been drafted for the [[Vietnam War]] otherwise - or, worse, dropped out to become a hippie. ("[[The Daria Diaries]]") Mad Dog may have thought Middleton, due to its religious background, would stop Jake dropping out (oops).
 
What we actually know about Middleton is limited. It has a long history, going back to Colonial times, when it was a religious all-male school. ("[[College Bored]]") It is considered to be a second-tier school (near the end of the series, we learn that they have "gotten rid of all the requirements, so you can take whatever you want!!"). It has such a reputation that [[Grove Hills]] uses Middleton as an example of the type of place your children might end up if you don't send them to Grove Hills. The alumni newsletter is Middleton Musings.
