[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an original copy and it was my bible :)

[b]But it was never meant to have anything to do with academics for crying out loud.[/b]

It was tennis and finishing and boarding schools and Speery topsides, monograms, LL Bean duck boots, duck phones, etc

Sweet Briar almost shut down completely from lack of funds and enrollment lags. Hopkins is all female too.

Let me guess : you are the same poster that turned to [b]Vogue[/b] magazine for a historical article on “prestige” colleges (a fashion magazine) and now are going to a preppy parody book.

I suggest you look for academic literature.

Who said the book was about academics? The heading for the schools, "The College of Your Choice," was retained from the original source without comment. I listed the schools by the SAT statistics in the book (rather than alphabetically) simply as added information for anyone curious about this characteristic of the college landscape circa 1980.

Vogue? What on earth are you talking about?
