As a Balliol man and a Greatsman, it's hard for me to feel "inadequate" to compared to anyone as far as formal education goes. However, I hold formal education in considerable disdain.

"Safety school!" -- Brown jeering at the Cornell football team. It doesn't rhyme, but the truth hurts
A bit off topic, but is football really a big deal in the Ivy League?
And Ivy Leaguers wonder why people think they're full of themselves.

That's just MF.

Then there are the football chants to inferior schools when said Ivy team is losing badly: "That's alright, that's okay, you'll be working for us some day."
I thought that was Northwestern's chant, since they play Big 10 schools all the time and get raped.
No. Except when light-footed presidents stop by on their way to Vanderbilt.
Gee couldn't handle us. He was swamped by the genius. Also, he probably felt inadequate (poor sap went to some state school for undergrad, you know).
Ruth Simmons rocks.
Err, not at my school--unless we wer playing against another Ivy. Even then, it's not about the football, but more about school rivalry.
You should not feel inferior. The reality is that ivy league grads are in almost no way superior to anyone, including graduates of state colleges. The scene/quote from the book/movie A Civil Action best sums it up when Jan Schlickman says that the Harvard Law firm with the oriental carpets and the expensive furniture is a way of bullying and intimidating those not part of it. Ivy league grads are not smarter, they are not better, they are really in no way superior, except in a lot of cases their parents were probably wealthier than yours. But you will never ever find in Ivy leaguer admit they've got nothing on a state college graduate-- why should they? This myth is something that has carried them since they were 18 and probably will for much of their life.
