High	This article has been rated as High-importance on the project's importance scale.
	Reasoning for assessment: Needs additional references for the notable alumnae section and the sections Sports facilities, Clubs and Committees and CIOs (Common Interest Organizations), and Affiliated Organizations. Overall expansion is desirable: the History could section could include information about why the school was founded, and notable events that have occurred. --Jh12 (talk) 05:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Notable Alumnae"[edit]

For the record: if Person X a) has not yet graduated and b) has not done anything notable, she is not a "notable alumna" for the purpose of this article. Not even if she's the daughter of the King of the Universe. So please don't add students just because they're the daughters of famous people, or their names will be removed. Thanks!

She's not really "notable" I guess, but her mother is notable: Rose Kennedy Schlossberg is an alumnus of Brearley like her mother Caroline Kennedy. --ACRSM 19:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

You mean to say that Rose Kennedy Schlossberg is an alumna of Brearley like her mother. Together, they are alumnae. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.175.47.226 (talk) 19:03, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Smaller RED seal.jpg[edit]

Image:Smaller RED seal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew Gutmann letter to Brearley[edit]

See the following New York Post story: Dad who wrote scathing letter to Brearley about race focus: ‘Someone had to’.

The letter is re-quoted here, following a short intro.

I'll just mention this here. Other editors can decide whether this has sufficient weight for mention in this article. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 10:25, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My take is that, while it's interesting, including it in the article is premature. BubbaJoe123456 (talk) 14:52, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This letter has been gaining plenty of attention in from major media outlets. Recommendation is to include a summary from the summary of the articles that cover it. Here are more sources of coverage of the letter making it notable.

Published Letter

Additionally, there have been counter responses to this letter that are less notable.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.227.66.34 (talk • contribs) 21:55, April 29, 2021 (UTC)
