Gonna disagree here. I know a bunch of Harvard grad ALCD's. One is a great person, and a good doctor, smart, but not outstandingly so (was a football player). Another very nice person, athlete and legacy, is a school librarian. Another (athlete) works at a competing university in the development office. Another is a school teacher. I'm struggling to come up with an ALCD I know who is outstanding in their field. The best I can do is an athlete who is now a successful politician, though I wouldn't describe her as an intellectual giant The smartest Harvard grad I know is now a professor at a different Ivy, but he was more like the Good Will Hunting kid (but writing rather than math)
