Slate.com: "Harvard, Yale, or Princeton?"

On the occasion of tonight's Oscars, here's a December piece from Slate.com that looks at "how F. Scott Fitzgerald decided where to send his characters to college."

The impetus for the article stems from the omission of Harvard references in the Best Picture nominated The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which is based off of Fitzgerald's short story. In the story, Benjamin Button is a Harvard man, though in the film, he is Brad Pitt, so, like, whatever dude.
