The smiles on the faces of these Vassar women seem suspicious. Why are they so ecstatic to be stuck in class? Perhaps it’s the brilliant words of their Spanish professor or, maybe, they’re just happy for some sunshine. Note to the faculty: not much has changed since 1958. Drive home the impact of your lecture by holding class outside on a warm day.
