The red book is here! By which I mean: the reunion report of the Harvard Class of 1993 arrived in the mail yesterday. Now that most of us are married, I thought it would be interesting to see whether indeed Harvard locks its graduates into a bubble of privilege, accessible only to other alumni of the fanciest schools — in other words, does Harvard marry Harvard?
So I’m just going to go through this book alphabetically, until I get bored, and write down the alma mater of the spouse of each married Harvard grad. I’ll separate my classmates by gender, in case that makes a difference.
Harvard men found spouses from:
- West Virginia
- Florida Atlantic
- Georgetown
- North Carolina State
- Emory
- St. John’s University
- UC-Davis
- Harvard
- U Mass – Boston
- Duke
- UC-Davis
- UC-Berkeley
- Knox College
- Yale
- Harvard
- Durham
- Harvard
- Duke
- Purdue
And the Harvard women:
- George Washington
- Southern Connecticut
- Evergreen State
- Harvard
- Yale
- Texas A&M
- Harvard
- New Mexico
- Colgate
- Harvard
- York
- Harvard
- Harvard
- Columbia
- West Point
- Sydney
- Harvard
- Brandeis
- Harvard
- Princeton
- Tufts
OK, that’s enough. Hard to draw much from such a small sample size, but am I going to flip through the whole book typing in husbands and wives? I am not.
Quomodocumque 
Wow – you guys get an actual report. We just get some hotel info. With all that background I can assure you that I would be even less likely to attend the reunion, much to Dr. Mrs. Q’s chagrin.
Don’t forget “UConn dropout who finally finished her lousy-ass degree at the U of MN”.
Happy to be in there f**king up the list.
