[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is the "who are they" refrain supposed to be some insult? I don't get it, if it is. I mean, they're multibillionaires. What more do you want to know about them? The vast majority of people who make mega-donations to these kinds of universities are not household names.[/quote]

I think Jan is in some mad disbelief that Northwestern, a second-tier mediocre university in a crime-ridden and deteriorating city in her eyes, is even capable of producing multibillionaires.

She said in an earlier post that the word "leaders" only belong to HYP. A Stanford grad myself, I laughed out loud. [/quote]

Evanston is a suburb of Chicago, north shore burb to be more specific. Evanston is seedy in some parts but nothing like the ghettos of Chicago proper. And the most expensive residential homes in the Midwest are in all directions of NU. Outside of the performing arts theater kids, I thought NU was basically like the north shore rich kid college.
