Don’t forget Bennett’s place in local higher ed

Regarding the Counterpoint, “Colleges are a gift to our community” (Aug. 12):

I agree wholeheartedly with the writer that indeed colleges are gifts to our community. However, I would like to remind the writer that the words “colleges” and “our” are plural

Since that is the case, please enlighten me as to why Bennett College (founded in 1873) was not included.

Today, Bennett is a four-year liberal arts college for women located a few blocks from downtown.

Perhaps if there had been fewer “I’s” “me’s” and “my’s” included, there may have been room for Bennett.

I rest my case.
