Harvard University is in the news again, and again, and again. Today’s WSJ article on Harvard was written by a graduate of my own Haverford, who closes the article noting that in a Wall Street job interview, the interviewer began by looking at his educational record and saying “”Well, if you read it quickly enough, it looks like it says Harvard.”
Of course, being confused with Harvard isn’t such a bad thing. A friend of mine, Spanish, was at a party when he referred to a friend of his at Yale. Of course, with a Spanish accent on the Y, it sounded like “jail.” Confused by the negative reaction, he insisted: “No, jail is a very good school!” Presumably one studies in the School of Hard Knocks.
