Tip of the Day - Look Smart it's 90% of the battle
I was very fortunate for christmas a few years ago to receive a Dartmouth t-shirt from my Cousin Kati, who got her doctor degree from there. It's been my favorite t-shirt for the past 2 years. I don't leave home without it. I always thought i wore the shirt so much because of the comfort and the quality, but I really think it was the respect i got. First, people walked by and yelled at me "go green" I was like who are these wackos. When I finally realized i started playing along and felt the pride of big green. It continued to steamroll. I'm in Starbucks and people want to strike up some talk on politics. People ask me for directions, even in spanish! So my tip of the day is to go to IVYSport.com and pick up an ivy league t-shirt. You'll thank me for the comfort and get the academic respect that community college did not bring to you! I think i'll try BROWN next.

you are too funny.
now that I'm working at harvard medical school maybe with the cousin exchange there can be an addition to your t-shirt collection...and you'll get even more strange conversation at Starbucks.

You are not alone with regards to Dartmouth. This recent study (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/12/19/business/yourmoney/19advi.html) lists Dartmouth as one of the world's top 10 most enduring institutions. The list also includes the Rolling Stones, Salvation Army, Oxford, the modern Olympic Games, General Electric, Sony, the US Constitution, the International Telecommunications Forum, and the Rockefeller Foundation (not to be confused with Roc-A-Fella Records)
