Maybe they're just jealous. Of the 14,000 people who apply to Harvard College each year, 12,000 don't get in. Many become college presidents. After all, every college professor or academic deep down inside wants to live in Massachusetts Hall--but they don't. We can pity them.

Had she not been burdened with Eilbert's wooden acting or lines like "I am not jealous of Phoebe--I am jealous of the ongoing love-affair the two of you have with the theatre," she might have provided the movie with a sorely-needed foil...
