<p>Back to the topic…</p>
<p>I just read a silly novel called “Tap and Gown”. It was written by a Yale grad, set at a school in New Haven called “Eli” but which is obviously Yale. The plot revolves around a girl and her membership in one of the secret societies (called Rose & Grave, probably like Skull and Bones). It definitely addresses the idea of Ivy networks and connections. But if that’s really what life is like at Yale and really how kids there really think, then I hereby withdraw my previously-held support for education at elite schools!</p>
