C'mon Spence alums: your listed alumnae are very recent and aren't very scholarly (2 didn't come close to graduating). The emphasis on diversity makes me think that thou doth protest too much. Let's see some data that Spence girls aren't a bunch of rich kids; your alumnae list sure doesn't convince me...

[edit] Alumni/alumnae

IIRC, the feminine of alumni is alumnae --barista 07:05, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Miss Spence's School/Spence School: A major venue of America's ruling class

A google for this school under both names will show that many of the daughters of America's ruling class have attended this school. It would be useful to add some of their names, plus perhaps links to the various articles in TIME magazine about the changes in its leadership and style. Places like this are highly relevant if one is to study the history of women of the upper class in the United States.--Orange Mike 18:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV

Sentences like:

  • Today, a challenging education to enrich the intellect, build character and strengthen spirit continues to form the cornerstone of a Spence education.
  • Spence's curriculum has long been a leader among peer schools nationwide.
  • Its 15 homerooms are designed for small classes and create a warm, child-centered learning environment.

Are entirely inappropriate in a neutral article. Unless they're fixed I'll revert the artilce to an older, more neutral version. -Will Beback · † · 20:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I took a whack at it. --Orange Mike 23:27, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, that's better. I think someone from the school came through and re-wrote it as an advertisement. -Will Beback · † · 00:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

"The girls from Spence are very hard working and have a very good sense of teamwork on all of their sports teams."; super neutral lol.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.187.71 (talk) 10:02, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
