<p>Not sure that Hef would get the warmest reception at Smith. Though some years back (15? 20?) when Playboy did a “Women of The Women’s Colleges” spread (so to speak :eek:), there was a mix of interest and protests on campus.</p>
<p>Re the Adas … They definitely bring a lot to campus, and the traditional-aged undergrads seem to enjoy having them in class. As a group, they do have a special esprit, but my Smith faculty pals tell me that the older women can be more obsessed with grades than the younger ones. Personally, I think I’d be the opposite … I’d work harder now if I were in college now, at 59, than I did at 18 or 20, but I wouldn’t be all that invested in the grades, if I could be happy with the work myself.</p>
