“According to the best possible source the Social Establishment itself — the most important college, socially, is unquestionably Yale. Princeton has a lot of glamour, but Yale is solider. Boston, naturally, has always favored Harvard, but it is only a particular part of Harvard — a Harvard centered around such clubs as Porcellian, Fly, and Spee — that is favored.”
Birmingham presents an engrossing and illuminating journey through the customs and habits of the phenomenally wealthy.
