Medfield College

Medfield College is a fictitious university used as the setting for several films by The Walt Disney Company. Among them are the two "Professor Brainard" movies, The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) and Son of Flubber (1963); and the "Dexter Reilly" trilogy: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969), Now You See Him, Now You Don't (1972), and The Strongest Man in the World (1975); as well as the remake of The Absent-Minded Professor, Flubber (1997).

The town of Medfield, the location of Medfield College, was the setting for another Disney film, The Shaggy D.A. (1976), implying Medfield was also the setting of that film's predecessor, The Shaggy Dog (1959).

Medfield College is named after the town of Medfield, Massachusetts. According to town historians, friends of Walt Disney lived there, and Disney would visit them on occasion, landing his plane on a private airstrip on their property. Portions of the airstrip are still present today. The cornerstone of Medfield Middle School, formerly Medfield High School, has a quote from Walt Disney inscribed on it: "Our greatest natural resource is in the minds of our children."

The fight song of Medfield College, composed by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman, is heard during the beginning credit sequence of The Absent-Minded Professor.

The lyrics to the song are:

The Medfield College scenes in both The Absent-Minded Professor and Son of Flubber were filmed on the campus of Pomona College in Claremont, California. Some of the football field scenes in Son of Flubber were filmed at Burbank High School, as evidenced by a banner reading Burbank High School seen in the background.
