Newnham is a women's college. This page should be titled "Alumnae" not "Alumni". Deb 17:27, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Concur with Deb. Newnham has Alumnae not Alumni. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.135.122 (talk) 18:22, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely agree that alumnae is the appropriate term for Newnham or any women's college or school. The discussion that uses the example of genderless English and the dropping of actress to justify using a gendered masculine term for women is a complete contradiction. Alumnae gives women their place in a world that is still male dominated in lots of small ways such as this. Pen Lammer (talk) 21:26, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
