<div>I got an email today from the local BMC club here re: the new notecards for the year. This cannot stand any longer. Check it out for yourself, then read my reply. <br/> <br/>www.bmcsc.org/librarypubs/ <br/> <br/> <br/>Dear Publications, <br/> <br/>I graduated from BMC in 1997 and every year I have wanted to order note cards, and every year, I fail to find something I like. The holiday cards are, every single one of them, East Coast and / or Christmas themed: snow, wreaths, green and red coloring, etc. The best I can find that's not entirely region or religion specific is the occasional dove. But usually, it's flying out a Christmas wreath. I'm Jewish and live in San Francisco - what good are Christian iconography and pine trees to me? Snow? <br/> <br/>I do not fare any better with your other note cards, which are a mix of outdated and pretentious. "College life" - white women 19th Century clothes, with *hair buns* burning the midnight oil, alone, in libraries? Aren't we trying to get away that stereotype of woman scholars? What about non-white? Women working in labs? Women simply working and studying in groups? I'm not saying that studying isn't serious business, but studying isn't serious business! As I remember it from BMC, studying and learning were cooperative and exciting. And the others, "Notes from Italy"? How much more pretentious can you get than that, short of actually transferring to Wellsley? To wit, if I ever get the money for a leisurely month-long tour of the Italian provinces, I'll buy my cards there, thanks. The two series of cards about Maine? See my earlier note about regionalism. And why Maine? If you must, absolutely must, do something Eastern Seaboard, at least make it PA. Or are we opening up a satellite campus in Maine? The flowers, dragons and rabbits are simply insipid and I'll say no more. <br/> <br/>Congratulations to the school though, in finally, as of last year, enabling me to buy a tee shirt online. From 1997 - 2004, the time period that BMC did not have this functionality, I had a ball spending thousands of dollars online with other vendors. Pay pal, anyone? <br/> <br/>Please respond and I'm posting this to the BMC tribe on Tribe.net. <br/> <br/>Best, <br/>[my name went here] <br/> <br/></div> <div> posted in <a href="http://brynmawr.tribe.net">Bryn Mawr College</a> - 6 replies </div>

<div>Hello all, <br/> I was looking through all the members, and at first I was like wow I don't know any of these people. But then I figured you all had graduated a while ago. So I hope that I, as a current student, am not intruding :). That's all, just wanted to say hi :)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://brynmawr.tribe.net">Bryn Mawr College</a> - 10 replies </div>
