[quote=Anonymous]We were both in Sessions.  The professors I am close with had been House Fellows at Sessions for years before I got there and remain House Fellows at Sessions to this day.  Zjemi and Robin?  Do you remember them?  Robin in the one who voiced this opinion.  Hardly conservative . . . I mean, if you do know them, and you should, there's really not much left for us to discuss.

As for the transgenders -- they marched in my Ivy Day Parade.  Now, perhaps this would not bother you, but it bothered me.  And I don't have anything against transgenders, either.  But why the agenda?  Why do they want to mess with Smith, and why is Smith refusing to say no?  One of the things I always loved most about Smith was that, by golly, they were determined to remain a women's college.  But hey, if it's the politically correct thing to do, let a woman who's had a sex change operation march in the Ivy Day Parade.  Let a man who's in the process of becoming a woman into the school.  Let him room with your daughter, because he won't be rooming with mine.  I mean, it's just a logical fallacy -- transgenders at a single sex school.

And you misread my biggest concern:  it's not with the number of lesbians, nor with how vocal they may be.  It's that the academic standards have deteriorated and the admissions scores are abysmal and all that seems to be left to being at Smith is being a lesbian.  I don't think one should let their sexuality define them in such a prominent manner; I don't think dental dams should be distributed more often than reading material, and that's the impression I had last year.  And to me it's sad that this is all that seems to remain of what was once was such a good school.  A school which was a really good place for me socially and intellectually.  A school I once said I would want my daughter to go to.
