- gone35 12y agoInteresting. Informally (anecdotally), I think the norm is quite the opposite: noblesse obliges to never drop the H-bomb in conversation --whence the irksome "went to school near Boston" trope [1,2]. It could well be a HBS-only thing, though. They have their own thing going on.

- waterlesscloud 12y agoIn my anecdotal experience, I only find out people I meet went to Harvard when I see them in a school sweatshirt. Or if they write for The Simpsons, in which case I just assume it. Heh. Wharton grads, on the other hand... Never more than 10 minutes before they drop it in.
- golgappi 12y agomy graduate advisor had studied CS from Harvard. She never mentioned it. I got to know one day when I was going through her Bio. I mentioned it in the next meeting and all she did was smile faintly. People with substance don't need to flash their Ivy League emblem everywhere.
