In Defense of Elitism

H. W. Crocker III in The Prospect, published by the Concerned Alumni of Princeton.

Elitist standards have altered with the tides of history. What was elitism to the ancient Greeks may not be elitism today ... . Indeed the fatty portions of a steak that a Princeton man might save in case he had Yale company are the very parts that were given to Achilles, Ajax, and Agamemnon as the choicest cuts.
