Smith College is one of the “Seven Sister Colleges” (Barnard College, Bryn Mawr College, Mount Holyoke College, Smith College, Radcliffe College, Vassar College and Wellesley College) that are/were all female only and quite prestigious. Now Radcliffe is Coed and is integrated with Harvard while Barnard is not quite as integrated with Columbia University. Vassar went Coed decades ago and Bryn Mawr is in a consortium with University of Pennsylvania (and others). Thus only Mount Holyoke, Smith and Wellesley Colleges remain all female (for how long???).

Smith College’s motto is ironic for this story; “Ἐν τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν” (In Virtue [One Gains] Knowledge). So what does one gain for Virtue Signaling?

I graduated 50 years ago from one of the current all-female colleges you mentioned. From the early 1990’s, like Smith, it was all about liberalism and lesbianism...and I feel that these places “recruit” young girls into lesbianism. I was a political science major and the creme-de-la-crime became bureaucrats in DC. And now we know why they were placed in those jobs decades ago. My daughter refused to even look at my alma mater.

I recently got a mailer soliciting money and I thought, “What a nice looking young man on the cover.” I thought it was from my sons’s all-male college. Nope. It was from my alma mater. She was a female who passes as a male. Crazy world we live in.

My parents were so proud when I was accepted. I am relieved they are now dead so they don’t have to see what the school became.

Well, for one thing, you gain the right to put out colorful yard signs...
