A good idea is to use "whois".  If you don't have it installed on your own
machine you can telnet to rs.internic.net  There are ways to use this service
via e-mail as well, but I don't know how it's done.  There are books on how
to access the whole net via e-mail.
If you *can* access whois, simply ask it the name of the college.  For
Princeton the request would be  "whois Princeton University"  and it would
come back with the alpha address and the IP address.
