This was really well-done and enjoyable, Mr. P. But I worry that you might be setting the bar of commonality too high. How much do we really need to work from shared first principles to find a better unifying spirit? Might it be enough for us to figure out the reasons why Yale students are happier than Harvard students (I have a few ideas, and they're not all about "collective drunkenness"), and embrace those as the unique selling propositions around which our brand is centered?
