<< she did a real turn about when she went to Wellesley.>>

I can identify with that. I also supported and voted for Barry Goldwater in 1964 (my first vote). I considered myself a conservative in those days. Between 1967 and 1972, I was in the doctoral program at Bryn Mawr. I came out of there a moderate, still conservative on fiscal issues, but liberal on social issues. I have became much more liberal in recent years, but am still somewhat of a fiscal conservative (without the tax cuts for the upper one percent).

Bryn Mawr, like Wellesley, is one of the seven sisters and I suspect they are very much alike. I am sure these attitudes would rub off much more on undergraduates than on graduate students.

I would have liked to go to Bryn Mawr as an undergraduate, but did not for three reasons: 1) my high school grades and college boards were not good enough, 2) my parents could not afford Bryn Mawr and 3) I was not anxious to go through the surgery I would have required to be admitted (LOL).

Got away from home and dropped acid.

Like a lot of college students she started to question the assumptions on which she was raised. She was goldwater girl in high school.

Is there any record on what she did with summers? Did she have a job? Likely would have been in politics as she has been in politics since the Goldwater Campaign when she was a Goldwater girl--------I find that rather bizarre as she did a real turn about when she went to Wellesley.

In summers I understand she worked on campaigns......she said she spent time one summer in San Antonio. I don't get the impression she had to work.
