March 1989

An alumna from the Class of ’87 posed nude for the March issue of Playboy magazine. Indignant that The Vassar Quarterly didn’t publish her story with the notes about other graduates’ activities, she spoke instead to The Poughkeepsie Journal. “Vassar is reluctant to acknowledge women [graduates],” she said, “who do something besides go out in starched shirts and pressed suits and make a name for themselves in the corporate world.”

She “missed the deadline for publication for our spring issue,” the Quarterly’s editor, Georgette Weir, explained to The Miscellany News, “but will find her name in the class notes of the upcoming summer issue.”
