  Not necessarily of course, but in our history the Ivy League schools have produced more of our leadership than any other institution.

    Tho most Presidents are trained as Senators , Governors and Generals , they were first graduates of college, almost all of them.   If you can count West Point then even more so.

     Some Presidents ,like Reagan, went to less famous schools and lots of congressmen are graduates of less famous schools , but my point is that the big old schools are over represented.

      Can we hold this academy responsible for some of the present situation? for good and for ill?

There is way too much favoritism involved in selecting Harvard and Yale graduates for political positions. There always has been.
