On my recent visit to Grinnell, Iowa, I was pleased to discover SETTLEMENT HOUSE GIRL prominently displayed at the Pioneer Bookstore, along with books by other Grinnell alumni authors.
Grinnell College, founded in 1846, is the oldest college west of the Mississippi. Its teams and students have always been known as the "Pioneers" reflecting the early days of the town and college. But, recently, a new mascot has appeared--the Grinnell Squirrel--reflecting the numerous small furry residents that scurry around on the tree lined campus. Hence, all the images of squirrels and toy stuffed squirrels alongside the books at the bookstore.
