<p>In the New Student Guide online, it mentioned a summer reading which would be mailed in July. Does anyone know what book(s) are required to be read?</p>
<p>They mail you a booklet that Wellesley compiles with speeches and info on the college. You're expected to talk about it in small groups during first year orientation along with a randomly assigned prof. My prof was an Astro prof who mostly talked about Astronomy, and then had us talk about the pictures in the book, not any of the articles. But it's not anything you'll be graded on, and by August, you'll have nothing to do but sit around and read the thing anyway.</p>
