He is getting a full ride in an honors program. Seems like a great decision to me ...

Yes, but you lose the aura of greater glory that the more splendid institutions impart.

And such glory cannot be purchased...it can only be granted through the arm of the sovereign institutions themselves.

Harvard...Yale...these are where the glory is added.

In the other, lesser places, those places where the proletariat walks, you are likely to sink into the mire and be lost forever while others stand athwart history and lead us into the gleaming tomorrow.
