...Attitudes such as these, even if in jest, serve only to misinform and misrepresent. To add insult to injury, Mr. Smith engaged in blatant sexism. He wrote that "a wily person [no gender here] can use these stereotypes to his advantages," by being able to entice the students at Wellesley and Lesley. Are these advantages available only to men, or are women also subject to attack by "a squad of Lesley...

In fact, a large number of Wellesley's students elect to seek weekend entertainment off campus because the serious acdemic...
Moreover, the article's insinuation that the typical Wellesley student is an old-fashioned domestic is both insulting and erroneous. In relaying the hoop-rolling story, it is significant to note that the prophetic nature of the race has been changed. Instead of being the first to marry, the winner is now deemed as first to be president of a Fortune 500 company. I can also personally state that Weellesley students are striving for more equal give-and-take relationships with men. It is a shame that a dinner cooked once for the special occasion of a birthday was misrepresented...
...strong advocate of accuracy, I have found it impossible to remain silent on this issue. If your writer, Ms. Masters, wishes to discuss Wellesley, have her glance beyond the warped impressions of young Harvard men and a dissatisified Wellesley student who transferred. If she wishes to take part in Harvard's "Exploits," please ask her to remove the qualifier "Patriarchy." Jill Simeone Wellesley College...
