It was called "dropping the H-bomb" a few years ago. (And I get the same question about my Berkeley days, Frank. )

During an in-person discussion at coffee there was a similar dynamic.  I always wondered why my wife never told people she went there.  When I met her she said she went to college "in Boston". Now I understand better.  When I tell people that I went to Berkeley the most common reaction is, "Were you there during the Free Speech Movement?".  Harvard seems to be different.  When my wife saw "The Social Network" the parts about the clubs and going to Newport during the weekend made her feel ill.  Friends, lots of perfectly nice, normal people go to Harvard.  Relax.
