I'm guessing those words have never been strung together before.

That does seem rather odd when talking about academia.
The College dates from June 10, 1846, when a group of transplanted New
Englanders with strong Congregational and social-reformer backgrounds organized
as the Trustees of Iowa College. A few months later, Iowa joined the
Union.
The first 25 years of Grinnell's history saw a change in name and
location. Iowa College moved farther west from Davenport, Iowa, to the town of
Grinnell, named for an abolitionist minister, Josiah Bushnell Grinnell.
Oh, I'm beginning to understand. <{B^) Bill Barber
