Here’s today’s Final Jeopardy (in the category Colleges) for Monday, June 3, 2024 (Season 40, Game 191):

Of the Seven Sisters colleges, this one located in a place of the same name is the farthest south

(correct response beneath the contestants)

Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:

Carol Ritchey, a retired letter carrier from Eastpointe, Michigan

Carol Ritchey on Jeopardy!

Matthew Kahn, an IP docketing assistant from San Diego, California

Matthew Kahn on Jeopardy!

Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana (3-day total: $71,600)

Adriana Harmeyer on Jeopardy!

Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:

Our first game in June features 3-day champion Adriana Harmeyer going for an all-important fourth victory today; her challengers are Michigan’s Carol Ritchey and California’s Matthew Kahn.

One thing that I found interesting: today’s game is the second game in a row to feature a “words that start with J” category. Considering how well she did on the last one, I’d like to think that Adriana has a good chance of doing well on this one as well!

Correct response: What is Bryn Mawr College?

More information about Final Jeopardy:

(The following write-up is original content and is copyright 2024 The Jeopardy! Fan. It may not be copied without linked attribution back to this page.)

Of the Seven Sisters colleges, four are located in Massachusetts—Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, Smith, and Radcliffe—two are located in New York—Vassar and Barnard—and Bryn Mawr, located in Pennsylvania. Of the seven, only Radcliffe is no longer operational on its own, having merged with Harvard in 1999.

While a merger with the previously all-male Haverford College has been considered, Bryn Mawr students may currently attend classes at Haverford, Swarthmore, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Being that the name Bryn Mawr comes from Welsh, I feel as though this could make for some very interesting spellings in Final Jeopardy today. We shall see what happens!
