A wonderful title, but it's wasted on this uneven memoir that devotes too little word space to the fascinating, rarely explored subject of small, state-supported colleges to which the title seemingly refers. Blew, who was a professor and administrator at one such institution on the remote high plains of northern Montana for eighteen years, is a good writer, but her memoir makes jumpy transitions in time and subject matter, is sometimes mean-spirited, and leaves a lot unexplained.

Mary Clearman Blew's education began at home, on a remote cattle ranch in Montana. She graduated to a one-room rural school, then escaped, via scholarship, to the University of Montana, where, still in her teens, she met and married her first husband. This Is Not the Ivy League is her account of what it was to be that girl, and then that woman -- pressured by husband and parents to be the conventional wife of the 1950s, persisting in her pursuit of an education, trailed by a reluctant husband and small children through graduate school, and finally entering the job market with a PhD in English only to find a whole new set of pressures and prejudices.
