Our all-female college guaranteed a focus on academic achievement and extracurricular leadership we might have missed at a coed college. It was a given that the president of the class, the editor of the paper and top student in every field would be a woman. And it could be any of us.

The debate over Vietnam articulated attitudes not only about the war, but about duty and love of country. For many thoughtful, self-aware young men and women there were no easy answers, and there were different ways to express one's patriotism.
有关越战的争论表明的不只是我们对战争的态度，而且涉及对这个国家的责任与爱。对许多有思想、有见地的年轻人来说，问题不如想像的简单，爱国之情也可以用各种不同的方式来表达。
