To the Editor:
Having two daughters who entered Midd as Febs, I am most sorry to hear thi s ("AdministrationCutting Back on Feb Admissions," Sept. 14, 2006. Febs seem to have a special pride, and their numbers, well over 100, give merit to the program yet do not lead them toward segregation. A smaller group might feel more isolated and will have a more difficult time mingling, as do transfer students at any institution. I'm sure my daughters would not have chosen to be Febs, yet their selection to enter at that time of year has proven to be beneficial in so may ways. I have heard the complaints about classes and housing, but I believe keeping the numbers strong is an advantage to students individually as well as for the group in the long run. College housing is what tends to segregate and needs to be revisited.
Sincerely,

To the Editor:
I consider myself and my friends extremely fortunate to be among the ever growing multicultural population Shirley Ramirez assisted years ago.
Not only will Middlebury benefit from Shirley's extensive experience, the College will also benefit from her passion and dedication to her work, her gifted insight and knowledge of her field and her innovative ideas.
She is also a compassionate, caring and exceptionally noble individual.
Shirley Ramirez will be a valuable asset to your institution and the educational endeavor as a whole because her vision and her work, driven by her passion to make this a better world, will impact generations to come.
Sincerely,
