From the original letter:

"...you will never again be surrounded by this concentration of men who are worthy of you."

As mentioned in the comments section below the article SWTXBelle posted, I also agree with this comment.

I have found this to be very true.

Then, wouldn't it work both ways? The male students are also surrounded by excellent, "marriage-worthy" women. Why is Patton's letter directed only at female students? I think people would have less of a problem with her if she were encouraging all students to form secure, long-lasting relationships, and not just telling the women that they need to snare a man.

There's also the heterosexism aspect of this, but that's a whole other can of worms.
