Little Three
The ''Little Three'' is a term started by and used in reference to athletic competition between three private liberal arts colleges in the New England region of the United States: Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts, Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut, and Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts.

The earliest known reference appeared in John Hallahan’s ''Football in New England Colleges'' in 1923: "Williams College again won the championship of the Little Three, which includes Wesleyan and Amherst . . ."
