At the UFVA conference back in 1995, Keene St. College in New Hampshire showed "Dial M For Murder" in 3-D on a dual-projector system, which appeared to be a permanent fixture in one of their theaters. Unless they've dismantled it, I assume it's still there. Keene State is also the only school I know of with a 70mm system, although I assume there are a couple more out there.
