I can only imagine the splash with which they will enter their college lives. TEH Laura, thank you for yet another example of how Emma Willard graduates stand out among their peers.

The next week, when we were discussing the book in class, I made several comments and shared my insights. After class, the professor pulled me aside and said, "Where did you come from? It's obvious to me that you've had some sort of 'higher education'...." I had a similar experience when I was a freshman in college….(12 long years ago now!)
