...hate to be confused with a serious person with a huge message, but the truth is, I started getting a lot of calls from universities and blue-collar organizations like the U.A.W. and the Teamsters. The weird thing is, now most of the calls I get are from big corporations like Motorola...
...critic, George Ade, who declared that his alma mater, Purdue, “gives you everything that Harvard does, except the pronunciation of a as in father.” Perhaps Mr. Bartenstein would be happier at Purdue, or perhaps at Suffolk University where he could wallow in Blue Collar Bostonese as much as he liked.

An opposing, liberal conception views Harvard as the most fertile breeding ground of white-collar sexism, where boys will be boys and women will be quiet, or otherwise risk immediate backlash from the men who make up an overbearing majority of student government and faculty positions...
