Medfield College is named after the town of Medfield, Massachusetts. According to town historians, friends of Walt Disney lived there, and he 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."
Fight Song
The Fight Song of Medfield College, composed by Richard and Robert B. Sherman, is heard during the beginning credit sequence of The Absent-Minded Professor.
Filming locations
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.
The Medfield College scenes in the three above-mentioned Dexter Riley films were filmed on the Disney Studios backlot in Burbank, California.
Some Medfield College scenes in the 1997 Flubber remake were shot at San Jose State University.
