I’m still at my single letter college reunion, but thought of this thread as the third student address (by a grade student in public policy who was also class of 95) was entitled “In praise of the clip on necktie”. He wears one because he’s a cop and you don’t want to be in a situation where you could be strangled by your tie. I don’t think he wasted his education.

As for the issue of conspicuous consumption - when I was in college dressing down was part of the student culture. I think there was a period in the 1980s and maybe again in the Sex and the City era when showing off stuff was a bit of a fad, but I look around my reunion and I don’t see anyone worry about clothes. While there were wealthy people and a handful of really, really, wealthy people, I knew very very few of them.
