[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do people on this board understand that UChicago is ranked third in the country/fourth in the world (easy to check on Google) for producing Nobel prize laureates? As a recently retired HOS, I've always held it in the highest regard. The only drawback I used to joke is that their unofficial motto is: Where fun goes to die.

People here need to get over their very unhealthy Ivy fetish.[/quote]

I don't think PP has an Ivy fetish, so much as a weird hatred of the University of Chicago that manifests itself in arguing that Chicago isn't on par with the Ivies.  The Ivies are just invoked for rhetorical purposes; otherwise, PP likely has no connection with any Ivy.  I think most Ivy grads look favorably on Chicago and know quite a few who've sent their own kids there [b](including the president of Princeton)[/b].  [/quote]

It is very "UChicago" for you to be so creepy that you know this, let alone that you shamelessly brag about it as if doing so is as normal as breathing. And safe bet it's far from the first time you've bragged about some random academic admin's child, an academic admin you do not know. Weird and creepy.[/quote]

Since you asked, I do know the family and the "child" in question is now an adult who has graduated from Chicago.

Seriously, you are bizarre.  In a way, it's almost comforting that people like you find an outlet on DCUM, because without it you'd probably engage in even more anti-social behavior.  [/quote]
