...suffer the penalty for dividing their loyalties; their professors and classmates in the sciences often see them as mercenary sorts not committed to the subject matter, while more purely artistic or verbally-oriented types sometimes sniff that pre-meds have "sold their souls to organic chemistry," (this from stout-hearted Haley Steele '99, a VES major). These accusations are not totally warranted--all a pre-med is, after all, is just someone who wants to help others later in life.

British culture is not hospitable to the zany, the innovative. It prefers solid, stout garments to high fashion, and Camilla is the paradigm, not Diana. So a young person seriously interested in a subversive field like fashion is likely to be highly rebellious...
