Vanity Fair names Brown most elite, explores stereotypes of Ivy League
Vanity wasn't fair. Or so Brown University students and officials think.Vanity Fair's February issue suggests that Brown University's apparent haute couture, replete with fashionable alumni and "children of A-List New Yorkers," has helped the university leapfrog Princeton ? as well as Harvard and Yale universities ? as the elite Ivy League school to attend.The magazine takes a stab at Old Nassau and its Big 3 brethren, Harvard and Yale, with a graph called the "Fab Four: A freshman guide to Ivy League semiotics." Evgenia Peretz, the graph's creator, pokes fun at stereotypes attached to the four schools.
