@cc08 speaking as a columbia college girl, i am SO SICK of hearing shit about barnard women. It is time for our college/university to recognize how much we benefit from having barnard across the street. without barnard, activism, the humanities, the social sciences, and about a zillion other aspects of CU life would look very different.
@cc09 agreed.
@word word
@Hello. We are all smart. Let’s just all shut up.
@well no we’re not all smart, but the ones who think they are smart are not that smart.
@Hmm Your point being?
@AHHH There’s nothing more painful than a self-righteous Spec staff editorial. Leave the sports analysis to the sports writers. focus on school spirit instead, something you totally ignored, k? thanks.
@yes it is. because they’re not.
@well columbia classes are generally more difficult.
@wtf all the columbia classes i’ve taken have been easy As. it’s been the barnard classes where i bust my ass. ivy league grade inflation.
@well If Barnard women were as stupid as everyone claims, it wouldn’t be possible for 70% of them to get honors since probably all of them have taken some Columbia class, which is “so much harder.”
@alum The article on calling centers is wonderfully written and thoughtful.
@hahaha I like that the reason 70% get honors is that Barnard is so “difficult” and the students are so bright.
@is it so hard for you to acknowledge that the people across the street could be as smart—maybe even smarter!—than you are? gosh…
@can't stand people like you, number two. get over yourself. and im pretty sure the reason barnard grads are so often featured in the nytimes wedding section is cause one of the writers went to barnard. (not to mention the sulzbergers of the nytimes = the sulzbergers of barnard, the quad).
@sulzbergers are men, and therefore went to columbia. the plaza in front of wien is actually named after one of them, I believe.
@actually Barnard’s Sulz is named after Iphigene Ochs Sulzberger, a Barnard grad who was a trustee for the NYT and wife of Arthur, after whom the Wien plaza is named. Not all Sulzbergers are men.
@mike I don’t understand why they don’t just give everyone latin honors. If 70% get it, it is purely mean-spirited to deny the other 30%. Why should only the top 70 or 80 percent feel good about accomplishing something special, or at least above average??
@hey didn’t you read the article. if 70% get honors, then they aren’t ‘symbolic’. for some reason, the fact of being ‘symbolic’ is very important.
@yay for the wrestling team.. they won two matches this weekend.. princeton and penn which they hadn’t beat since 93
@sigh... This is my fourth year, and I’m still a little ashamed to go to Barnard. Regardless, I’ll be graduating summa. Also, I’m not marrying. Ever. Goddamn milfs.
@holy moly! 70% receive latin honors!!!! That is awesome. Sounds like little league baseball where everybody gets a trophy!
