Alumni magazines

Alumni magazines certainly do have a skewed viewpoint. The Ivies probably especially. I remember one time flipping through a copy of my father's Columbia Magazine. The back of the book had little news snippets, one of which was a reprint of some remarks by Vaclav Havel. Next to his name was an asterisk with an accompanying asterisk at the bottom of the page that informed the reader that Havel received an honorary degree from Columbia in 1990--just in case you wondered why the remarks of a worthless slob like Vaclav Havel were worth reprinting.
