No, no. The mistake is mine.

And, yes, unlike large colleges which compete to have the largest endowment rather than, say, spending the money on students, high schools actually seem to use their endowments for the campus. Plus, it's a lot cheaper to get a gym named after you at a prep school than in college, for all those hedge fund managers who didn't strike it quite as big as Cohen.

Kind of a Single A district for the prepsters, eh? Thank you, sir.

I can think of three of those that would be candidates for her description.

But got only a Freshman dorm.

If you marry well, of course, there will be a different building named after each grandparent.

I think for this to make any sense at all, there'd have to be elder sex and incest involved.

Okay, let's say I am a Cabot and I marry a Lowell, my children might have a building named after each grandparent, but I wouldn't. See?

Of course you would. As would your parents and their parents.

Have you never met these people?

Learn to say, "you got me on this one." not terminal, but you are just digging the hole deeper.
