Where's all the masonic stuff? Sheesh, rule the world indeed.

Clearly produced by undergrads. What they don't realize (and why this mag was doomed) is that out in the real world, the more successful the alumni, the less they're defined by having gone to Harvard. The kind of rah-rah alumni who'd be interested in all these inside jokes are the ones who peaked in college, and who thus (if their selection algorithm was correct) didn't get sent copies.

If they'd sent this to the 50,000 least successful alumni, but told them they were sending it to the 50,000 most successful, they'd have probably had a very active readership.

The word you're looking for is circle jerk. :)

This item's title is misleading. The original article clearly states that 02138 was not affiliated with the University.

I really don't understand Harvard. I've visited friends there a few times and I can't stand it. The whole place is like being trapped in the middle school cafeteria.

Can you elaborate? I don't really know what you mean by "middle school cafeteria." If you're talking about obsession with status, I've got a few friends at Harvard and none of them are more concerned with status than any mildly ambitious person.

What's so "exclusive" about being 1 of 50,000?

The magazine had a fantastic article about Zuckerberg/Facebook a while back.

Here's some of the text in cache: http://64.233.169.104/search?q=cache:T1nVmRXFAhQJ:www.02138m...

Anyone have the full copy by chance?
