Wellesley background to aid Hillary Clinton ’69 in upcoming debate, op-ed says

An article posted by The Hill on Sept. 24 analyzed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton’s Wellesley College education and speculated how it would help her in the Sept. 26 Presidential Debate against Republican nominee Donald Trump. The article noted Clinton’s “absorbed intellectual thoroughness, sedulous preparation and presentation skills inflecting negatives as positives” and discussed how these skills are an integral aspect of a liberal arts, and more specifically an all-women’s college, education. The article praised Wellesley founders Henry Fowle Durant and his wife, Pauline Durant, while highlighting the impressive rhetoric of Durant and how these skills have been executed by Clinton throughout her professional career.
