Dear friends, this is another
call for action! We have to start a letter writing campaign to stop this ! It is
extremely offensive to both the memory of Elizabeth Blackwell and all the
victims of wars in Iraq and the Balkans that the woman who stood behind the
policy that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of people receives a award
for her "contribution of service to humankind"...The woman should be charged
with war crimes for her deeds !!! Please send letters of
protest in your name or in the name of your organization! We can not let
this go unchallenged! For your convenience please
find the e-mails and phone numbers of the University's presidents... NAME E-Mail PHONE

Editor Letters to the Editor Finger Lakes Times [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.O. Box 393 Geneva, NY 14456 A sarcasm beyond imagination! Elizabeth
Blackwell dedicated her life to the cause of healing the sick. The award with
HER name goes to the woman who "have made a considerable contribution of service
to humankind" by not blinking an eye over half a million murdered kids! And
those kids were, and still are dying the most horrible and painful deaths. May
12, 1996 Leslie Stahl CBS "60 Minutes" interview with
Albright: Stahl: "We have heard that a half a
million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima.
Is the price worth it?" Albright: "I think it is a very hard
choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it." ----- HWS NEWS RELEASE Madeleine K. Albright to Receive

Smith Colleges August 5, 2001 GENEVA, N.Y.-Hobart and William Smith

secretary of state and highest ranking woman in U.S. history. Prior to her
appointment she served as the United States Permanent Representative to the
United Nations and as a member of President Clinton's Cabinet and National
Security Council. "Madeleine Albright clearly embodies the
Blackwell Award's recognition of women 'who have achieved and who have served.'
With a distinguished career in public service and a deep commitment to
internationalism, Dr. Albright will begin our academic year and recognize Hobart
and William Smith's excellence in global studies and service," President Gearan
said. Born in Prague and the daughter of a Czech

After the war, her father returned to government service. The family eventually
emigrated to America after Communists took control of Czechoslovakia in
1948. Secretary Albright received her B.A., with

autobiography for publication in 2003. Hobart and William Smith Colleges award
the Elizabeth Blackwell Award in honor of the institution's most famous
graduate, Elizabeth Blackwell. Blackwell, born and raised in England, applied to
and was rejected by 17 medical colleges in the mid-1840s, and was finally
admitted to Geneva Medical College which later became Hobart College. She
graduated at the top of her class in 1849, the first woman in this country to
receive a medical degree. Blackwell went on to found the New York Infirmary for
Women and Children and aided in the creation of its medical college. Upon her
return to England she helped found the National Health Society, was the first
woman to be placed on the British Medical Register, and taught at England's
first college of medicine for women. Hobart and William Smith Colleges have
presented the Blackwell Awards since 1958 to such notable women as Supreme Court
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor; Surgeon General Antonia Novello; anthropologist and
author Margaret Mead; choreographer Agnes George DeMille; U.S. Senator Margaret
Chase Smith; U.S.Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, and professional tennis legend
Billie Jean King. {PS After reading the names of some women
recepients of the same award, I think it would not be a bad idea to put them in
the copy of our letters!!! I stronlgy believe that some of them will not
appreciate their name to be assosiated with that of Madeleine
Albright!!!} And staff names should be in BCC
