For years he struggled to build a career-through such gimmicks as sending out little boxes of lemon Jell-O to deejays and record-company executives to remind them, should the occasion arise, how to pronounce his name.

Doubtless it is good for morale that so many Harvard professors share this notion of Cantabridgian superiority, but the delusion can be harmful if it leads them to impose gargantuan assign ments upon our students. Fortunately Harvard professors who have taught elsewhere can remind their parochial colleagues that Harvard undergraduates are practically in-distinguishable, in ability and in accomplishments, from those at a dozen other institutions and that a Harvard degree is simply one of many reputable undergraduate degrees that students can receive in this country...
