[quote=Anonymous]Look, we both went to Smith.  I too lived in Sessions.  I'm not going to argue back and forth with you about this.  Take it up with the New York Times:  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/03/education/03sisters.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1

I don't know when you were last at Smith.  For me it was a year ago.  I don't know if you keep in touch with faculty at Smith.  I keep in touch with two of them, very closely.  And they are also of the opinion that Smith has declined since our days.  The professor I am close with came right out and said that they are vigorously recruiting outside the US to bring up their average entrance scores.

What left are not-too-bright women, many of whom want to be there because it is a great place to be gay.  So yes, the smart lesbians are at Harvard.  It's just that, for the lesbians at Harvard, being a lesbian defines them much less than it does at Smith.

Look, I have no reason to want to trash my alma mater.  I'd love to still see it in the top 10 of liberal arts schools.  I'd love for it to still have the reputation as an Ivy League School for women.  It used to.  It doesn't anymore.  Don't blame the messenger.[/quote]
