What Harvard does is their business. I couldn’t care less. And anyway, you can’t change human nature. And that’s what we’re talking about here.

Oh, I agree. Harvard can do what they like. I just think it's time that we step in and change the paradigm.

You are incorrect on one thing you said earlier - the situation with the Ivies has not always been this way. There was a time, way back when, when you primarily got in based on merit and industry, rather than because you were the scion of an alumni family. It was in those days that we saw a governing class that was actually worth the name.

But, as the English used to say in the 17th century, the quality of our nobles has degraded.
