Hampden Sydney College

[Anonymous]

I would say that Wellesley alumnae are capable of mustering facts in a logical argument -- one of the many skills they acquired at a top 10 liberal arts college. I'm not sure I'd say the same of Hampden-Sydney grads or other fans of the college -- at least judging from this thread.

The Amen was for 15:26 not 15:45!!!!

15:45 how hard up are Wellesley Alum's for posting action that they must highjack a thread about HSC to post. We are not the least bit interested in Wellesley-- it is a girls school. We are talking about a boys school. Start your own thread and get off the HSC thread!!!!!!!!

There's a big difference between a men's college that seeks to preserve the illusion of systemic male privilege and a women's college that seeks to educate and empower women to challenge and move beyond that system.

Bullshit.

Bullshit.

The relative quality of debate on either side is telling.

It certainly is! And, BTW, it was a Hampden fan who brought up Wellesley -- not the other way around.

Someone may have mentioned Wellesley in passing, but it was one or two insecure Wellesley "fans" who hijacked the thread by posting at length about how highly ranked Wellesley is and objecting to any references to H-S and Wellesley in the same sentence, etc. In doing so, they both derailed the thread and created the impression that Wellesley grads are a bunch of status-conscious lightweights. Not bad for a day's non-work.

Not insecure at all, actually quite proud of my Wellesley education -- I learned to think logically and to be accurate in stating facts, as for example, the facts stated in the following sentence that refers ti both H-S and Wellesley: Hampden-Sydney barely makes it into US News top 100, while Wellesley is in the top 10.

thanks for the entertainment!

Pot meet kettle. Putz.

That was never in dispute, but it was also largely irrelevant to the thread. You really are an embarassment to your alma mater.

You implied that the schools are comparable; they are not. Nobody here has attacked you personally or used foul language -- tactics you have resorted to repeatedly. Do you think you represent H-S well?

And, BTW, it's "embarrassment", not "embarassment".

Different posters, sweetheart. You are truly an idiot.
