<p>Boss, I’ve been affiliated with Smith for well over three decades. I appreciate the offer to educate me re Smith alumnae, but it isn’t necessary. Thanks for the offer though. :)</p>
<p>Have a great experience with your daughter during move-in day. It’s a special time. And welcome to the ‘Happy Valley’</p>
<p>Thank you and I will let you have the last word on this matter. ;)</p>
<p>@CrewDad, the college never claimed that he graduated, only that he was part of the “family.” In freshman orientation (i.e. Propaganda 101), we were told that Frost was considered an illustrious member, even though he didn’t graduate. Every entering class is given the designation of the projected year of graduation, and you retain that number forever, even if you graduate early/late or drop out altogether. Frost is the Class of 1896.</p>

<p>My error. I read your statement "as for fudging alumni, schools do it all the time. My own alma mater claims Robert Frost’’ insinuated your alma mater fudged a bit and listed Frost as an alum. Indeed, Wiki does list Frost as an alum. No matter. Time to move on.</p>
<p>I guess my point is that my alma mater doesn’t distinguish between alumni and once-upon-a-time matriculated students.</p>
