Changes Made to Smith College Article

The lesbian culture is NOT a Smith TRADITION.

tra·di·tion (trə-dĭsh'ən) n. 1.The passing down of elements of a culture from generation to generation, especially by oral communication. 2.A mode of thought or behavior followed by a people continuously from generation to generation; a custom or usage. 3.A set of such customs and usages viewed as a coherent body of precedents influencing the present: followed family tradition in dress and manners.

You will find that there are many Smith alums that are disturbed by the current 'reputation' of Smith. It is true that there is a sizable, vocal population of lesbians at Smith, but it seems that survey data from the past have not been able to show that the lesbian population at Smith is in the majority. Smith is already known among the general public as a lesbian school, which is not entirely fair to the rest of the student population. I believe that Smith has a culture of being open, accepting and diverse. It is a place where people is not discriminated due to their sexual preferences. BUT, I will not go as far as to say that Smith has a lesbian culture.
