The Truth about Wellesley
Is Getting Out

We just received the following
email from an out-of-state girl who will be
starting at Wellesley this fall.
"I had thought I was going
to attend the best liberal arts college for
women in the country, and that I would be
among other ambitious girls with similar high
values and a passion for learning. I had been
led to believe that Wellesley had a reputation
for educating and preparing women for successful
futures.
"After reading your article,
my stomach is queasy and I can't help but
question whether I made the right decision
to choose Wellesley.

"I just wanted to
say thank you for opening my eyes and preparing me
for some of the challenges I might face at Wellesley.
I am very independent and I hope that I can make a
difference at Wellesley and influence the students
and staff there in a positive way."
If this girl is queasy, one can only imagine the number
who did not even bother to apply for admission.
Wellesley's Reputation
Is Hurting
President Diana Chapman
Walsh told the college newspaper last year, "[I]t's
so hard to know" if the Rolling Stone's article
about lesbian sex at Wellesley College was damaging.
She opined that it didn't seem to affect applications.
But her statement appeared to be a premeditated falsehood
because the scandal did not break until March, long
after applications had been filed for the year's entering
class. It was impossible to affect applications.
But Walsh did acknowledge
some damage to the college. "The other kind of
evidence you have," she said, "is a lot
of angry, negative feedback from constituencies...a
lot of letters sent to me and emails [would be] sent
to me, that sort of thing.
"I guess the thing
to say - and this will sound old fashioned - [is that]
damage to your reputation is very hard to repair.
If you do something reckless and your good reputation
is damaged in some way by doing it, you almost never
get the chance to undo it. The damage is very hard
to repair. It takes a minute to lose trust; it takes
years to build it up."
The student reporters should have asked their President
what had occurred at Wellesley that was "reckless."
MassNews wondered at the
time of the scandal, where were the adults? Why were
the adults allowing this sex to occur? Didn't Mrs.
Walsh realize that 17- and 18-year-old girls were
being sent to her in good faith and were required
to live in her dorms with the assurance that nothing
harmful would happen to them? There's no question
she violated that trust and continues to violate it
- because she has done nothing to change what is happening
on the campus.
It appeared that Mrs. Walsh
heard from some of our readers at the time of the
scandal.

Ultimate Dislike of Males is
Shown by Lesbian/Feminists
All extreme feminists have
a dislike of males and teach hostility towards them.
When Prof. Helen Horowitz wrote the untrue article
about President Eliot of Harvard, she used warlike
terms to suggest the relations between the sexes.
She talked about the "battle
lines" that were drawn between the sexes in 1899
and said, "Eliot then struck the knife home."
But the ultimate dislike
of men is shown by lesbians who are hostile to one-half
of the people in the world, based solely upon their
gender. They are unable to have any intimate relations
with men.
We have shown many times
that these unhappy people use their authority to attack
men. How many of the staffers at Wellesley are lesbians
or just unhappy feminists is not revealed. But both
are present in large numbers.
This was demonstrated in
the Rolling Stone article last year. It was clear
from the article that lesbianism is not only tolerated
at Wellesley but is encouraged as a normal choice
for any young woman to try.
There has been no indication
from the College that they plan to change that policy.
