Correction

Either you’re normal or you’re not.

Sondheim hardly has contributed to the Williams college community.


see now you just sound like an ass. like a provincial ass.

It's like the start of a horror novel. Or The Secret History.

That may have been true 30 years ago, but not so much today. There has been a lot of separation between the top universities and the SLACs in recent decades.


NP - is this your opinion or are there facts to support your claim?

NP. I don’t know about a “lot of separation,” but if you do not know there has been some “movement” of applicants in the direction of national unis and more urban locations in the last 20 (and especially, the last 10) years, I suspect you may have been living under a bridge.


Again, if you have facts to support your claim show us!

Mayor of NY - Bowdoin. Transition team - 80% LAC grads, including Lina!

I don't know what you're on about. Only 2 of the people on the team went to a liberal arts college-Lina Khan, Williams and Melanie Hartzog, Eckerd.

I also don't know anyone who associated Sondheim with Williams college; he, frankly, had much more interesting affiliations and work done that has little connection with Williams college.


I def associate Sondheim with williams. Who wouldn't? He started Williams as a Math major and credited the place with his move to music. He wrote at least one musical while there.

So you read his Wikipedia bio 3 minutes ago.


puhlease. Lin is connected with Wes. Sondheim with Williams. I connect Thornton Wilder with Yale even tho he only went two years. And also Edward Gorey with Harvard (he was a rich kid living a rich life even pre fur coat). And then the Oxford guys like CS Lewis.

There aren't many people I associate with their college but a few I do and Sondheim is up there.

Lin Manuel Miranda has actually spoken at Wesleyan commencement. He’s an active alum and has spoken on campus multiple times.

Sondheim never returned the day he graduated from Williams. It’s cool that you have a Wikipedia archive list in your head, but it doesn’t say much.


This is untrue. He absolutely returned to campus, and he also spoke about how his time at Williams influenced him.
