gloria- I looked it up (I’ve heard of it before, but never looked into it) and it sounds good! Right now my winter break is devoted to apps, but if I get into B, I think my goal will be to read as many alumnae books as possible. Can we start a list going?

wej- that sounds really cool. How did you choose that interesting setting? What is the main plot? Sounds like it’ll be good.

And the speech that effected me most, I’d say, is her inaugural speech. You can find a transcriptions here: [Presidential Inauguration - Barnard College](http://www.barnard.edu/president/inauguration/sparaddress.html)
I didn’t actually mentions her or the speech (maybe I should have?) in my app essays, but my ‘Why Barnard?’ essay reflected on some of the ideas. Oh, Debora Spar…what a woman!
