Meanwhile, the world was realizing the importance of women and what they could do. When I talked to Dr. Godsey, Mercer's president, recently, he said that 52 percent of Mercer's Law School student body were women. I also learned that 65 percent of the student body in Mercer's Pharmacy School are women. That's a six-year program. Frankly men, let's face it.
Women are simply smarter than men.
I've known that for years. If you could add the last 10 years of the 20th century, I know he would be right. I get to talk with them and learn about them, their major field of study, and offer some advice about careers. I also tell them about the grand traditions of Tift College, which had a life span over 150 years before it merged with Mercer, one of the most fortunate things to ever happen to Mercer. It also joined together two Baptist traditions.
