What is amusing about this, is that an apparent Harvard publication is so willing to refer to the Harvard students and faculty as “intellectuals,” and as an intelligentsia.

In point of now demonstrable fact, they are now revealed as such only in the sense that the Academy that Swift's Gulliver discovered on the isle of Laputa, was also an "intellectual" center. (But Swift's picture was intended as satire, by exaggeration of academic idiocy. Contemporary Harvard?)
