[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's totally true. I was PP on the first page saying Princeton's dining clubs made me choose Yale, but honestly if my kid got into Princeton I'd do a little dance of joy. They're all amazing schools that open so many doors to kids later in life. [/quote] Here's an explanation of that passage, taken from the Yale Alumni Magazine: "Fitzgerald's most famous quote about the Ivies—it's not clear whether it was his opinion or just that of his teenaged protagonist—comes in This Side of Paradise, when young Amory Blaine explains: "I want to go to Princeton. I don't know why, but I think of all Harvard men as sissies, like I used to be, and all Yale men as wearing big blue sweaters and smoking pipes. . . . I think of Princeton as being lazy and good-looking and aristocratic—you know, like a spring day."[/quote]
