"The
Lyman Conservatory's just-completed makeover is a considerable
accomplishment. The half-dozen antique greenhouses were entirely
renovated, and new systems for maintaining temperature and
humidity were installed. Laboratories and exhibit-support
areas were created beneath a new lawn that opens up a pleasing
vista for a new campus center nearby. The modest brick headhouse,
which links the glass structures and had been used for potting
rooms and other necessities, was renovated to provide space
for nonplant exhibitions."

campus center is] light and airy, a very different kind of
building on campus. We wanted something in the spirit of Smith

"We
know that classes will begin the next day, and we will again
have to interact with the outside world, wearing appropriate
clothes, without screaming or standing on chairs. But in the
meantime, I think it is necessary to go a little -- maybe
a lot -- over the top and celebrate the amazing opportunities
all of us have been given."

"Here's
the deal -- I am going to Smith to find out what people who
go there know that I don't know. I am going for the sheer
joy of acquiring knowledge. I am employable now and I will
be more so. I will work when I'm finished and I am confident
that I will enjoy my work and be adequately compensated for
it, but this is about becoming a finer woman. This is about
reading and writing and studying and polishing my facets until
I sparkle. This is about redemption and reinvention and using
all my parts."

"The
way that I think of perfectionism is that a person has extremely
high standards for performance, but, crucially, those high
standards are paired with an excessive concern for failure
or making mistakes."

issues raise profoundly moral questions about what is enough,

come from ... consuming more."

"It's
obviously terrible timing, and it's going to hurt [the World
Cup] some, particularly in those towns that had WUSA teams.
The players themselves are going to be trying to showcase
their talents for other leagues they are starting in Europe
and Japan. It might make those women hungrier to perform well."
