SMITH IN THE NEWS
August 10, 2001 edition

 

SMITH IN THE COLLEGE GUIDES

"Don't shy away from expensive schools, since they tend to give away the most aid. At Smith College, for example, the bill tops $34,000 but 65 percent of students are receiving awards that average $21,780."
- Kaplan/Newsweek "How To Get Into College," Fall 2001
 
 
CONTINUED COVERAGE OF CAROL CHRIST

"Smith College brought one of academia's highest-ranking women to the helm last week, appointing Carol Christ as its 10th president."
- "Smith College names new president, The Christian Science Monitor [http://www.csmonitor.com], August 7, 2001

"I wanted to come to a place that I could get my arms around."
- Smith College President-Elect Carol T. Christ, "The New Smithie," The Boston Globe [http://www.boston.com/globe], August 5, 2001

"I think we're at a point now in the women's movement where we have made lots of progress, and in other areas the progress has been slower. I frankly welcomed a leadership position that would enable me to speak about those issues, to think about those issues, and to have them be a part of the institutional mission of the college I was leading."
- Smith College President-Elect Carol T. Christ, "Smith College Picks Berkeley's Former Provost as Its New President," The Chronicle of Higher Education Daily News [http://www.chronicle.com], July 31, 2001
 
 
HARRIMAN HEADLINES

"It seemed fitting. Science has changed a great deal since the Harriman Expedition but so have our western sensibilities toward native societies unlike our own, and by bringing these objects hack, we acknowledge that to the Tlingit and for ourselves. It's a way of closing the circle."
- Clark Science Center Director Thomas S. Litwin, "After 100 years, totem pole comes home," Chicago Tribune [http://chicagotribune.com], July 22, 2001

 
FACULTY VOICES

"Every student reads Benjamin G. Rader's American Sports, Allen Guttmann's The Olympics, and Andrew S. Zimbalist's Unpaid Professionals."
- "In Princeton Seminar, Students Look Into College Sports and Amateur Ideal," The Chronicle of Higher Education [http://www.chronicle.com], August 10, 2001

"You could be doing it [investing in the Red Sox] for fun and ego."
- Robert A. Woods Professor of Economics Andrew S. Zimbalist, "Red Sox perks may be few," The Boston Globe [http://www.boston.com/globe], July 25, 2001
