I'll get the beer and onions...

If he even gets close to a reporter that is.
I predict he will not for some time to come...

I mean did he need to use the whole name? Gosh, I went to Allentown Central Catholic, but when asked, "I always say that I went to Central"....everyone understood.

From an ethical standpoint, I would recommend he clarify the difference in institution.

without saying "i wasn't admitted and never attended -- but i *went* there!"

Cosmetology School and used my homespun values to make liberals there cry!

massachusetts.

quaint little town about 30 miles northwest of Harvard university

princeton university is in the town of princeton, whereas harvard university is in cambridge and yale university is in new haven.

that makes it much easier for harvard and yale to keep unrelated companies from using their name.

there are many companies and institutions, many not even actually in the town of princeton, merely nearby, that use the princeton name and the credibility it implies, relying on the fact that the university can't really do anything about it.


heck, the nearby hospital is even called "university medical center at princeton", but informally known as princeton university hospital. it similarly has no formal affiliation with princeton university, which does not even have a medical school.

Princeton Theological School really attached to PU. Yale and Harvard have long had "Div Schools," as has been the traditional reasons these schools were established in the first place.

their undergraduate schools are certainly excellent schools, but they're not the highest priority of those universities.

princeton is different in that it has always put its undergraduates first. it has no professional schools and only has a graduate school large enough to keep top professors interested.

it's really a surprisingly small school in that respect.


if you hear about nearly anything with the princeton name in it, it most likely has nothing to do with the university. you need to hear specifically "princeton university" and even then you can't be entirely sure!

of living arrangement. The Masters of these residences (called colleges) hold Master's Teas for the kids featuring former famous Yalies who have "made it" or sometimes just those who graduated from a graduate school, such as Meryl Streep --for Streep, there was understandably a packed house, but for some lesser lights they are fun to attend and have a little nosh. Or sometimes just a celebrity or entertainer. It's kinda fun when they come to little old New Haven for a visit...or speak at graduation, like John Kerry did last month...

ever would say they went to Princeton.

is part of Harvard.

You can't say you went to Princeton if you went to PTS.

And watching those fringe backgrounds come out is a joy to behold.

"Dave’s journey led him to Princeton where he obtained a Masters in Divinity and on to American University where he earned a Ph.D. in Economics. That education has led him to a career serving the Commonwealth."

Clever little Brat.

Being called "powerful" rather than "intellectual" elite.

But it isn't in "the elite" group at all in the way he likely intends.

says about teenagers. I don't happen to agree with that, but I do about Republicans.

is engaging in some low-grade dishonesty. Similar to the novelist Jeffrey Archer claiming that he was educated at Oxford University.

refers to Princeton Theological Seminary as "Princeton."

Except for David Brat.

'For years in Virginia, everyone from the media to Governors have come to Dave Brat for insights on the budget, knowing that he tested his rural values against the intellectual elite'
