| Great advice in the Yale forum. I'm also not really sure if anyone is really winning or losing, considering the topic itself is not so much Harvard v. Yale as it is...how to use peanut butter to prove people wrong, and effective peanut butter counter-points. It should also be noted Byerly was the one who started and helped in perpetuating the peanut butter-centric tone...I'm not sure if that counts as making the other posters "look like fools". | |

| Well Yalies may measure up in many ways, but if this thead is any guide, they are fairly conventional and timid when it comes to food in general and peanut butter in particular.
If young wingardiumlLeviosa want a successful career in investmwnt banking, he is going to have to learn to take prudent risks in order to achieve the greater reward.
My goal is certainly not to make anyone look foolish, but, in the spiritof the original post here, to indicate that there are still a few areas, unfortunately, where Yale does not "trump Harvard."
To be fair, I will readily concede that Yale *does* outdo Harvard in the number of a capella singing groups. I will further admit that I'm about as enthusiastic when it comes a capella singing groups as wingardiumLeviosa is about Super Chunk peanut butter. De gustibus non disputandem est! | |

| I hate to say it but all you Yalies are getting destroyed by Byerly. He took an inane peanut butter analogy and beat you over the head with it. Not only that, but you took him at face value and some of you (eternity) wrote hundreds of words TRYING TO OUT-LOGIC A PEANUT BUTTER ANALOGY.
That's quite pathetic. This thread is hilarious--Byerly being mock-elitist and the Yalies taking him seriously! | |

| Nobody ever succeeded in college or in life by standing on a mountain top and shouting, "My college is the greatest!! I go to it, hence I am better than everyone else!"
This type of attitude will simply not work. Every institution of higher education, even the most unknown community college, has produced exceptional, brilliant students.
Boasting about the merits of one's own school relative to others is simply immature and childish. Instead, let one's own accomplishments and actions speak for oneself.

| This thread is hilarious! And yet, sadly, I feel like the irony is lost on certain yalies present... | |

| Well said, HarvardAlum.
It's nice to see a reasonable human in the parade of trolls crowding around both sides of your post. | |

| I agree. How all these Yalies can look down their noses at Super Chunk just because it is not as "smooth" or "refined" is hard to understand.
They should think for themselves rather that let their tastes be decreed by others; be open to new things.
Perhaps it has something to do with Yale having the highest percentage of "preppies" in its student body of any school in the Ivy League. Hidebound traditionalists.

| if you read the beginning of this thread keynes, you would see it was meant as a joke until eternity got all serious about an otherwise boring analogy. Things slow for you on the penn board? revisiting some sort of anti-yale sentiment that came with Harvard EA? What's really ironic is that Byerly, a graduate of Harvard's Class of 1962, made prospective yale applicants look stupid with a peanut butter analogy. That's right, a 65 year old poster took on a 17 year old poster and embarrased him/her. Go Byerly, he really won that battle. | |
