I know about two dozen Princeton grads. I went to HS and law school with most of these. Not one is an awesome intellect. Many are "box checkers." And nearly all are PC cultists. I discuss things with them--especially sciences--and they say a lot of things that are just outright incorrect. And only a few have any second language proficiency. No smart human who has witnessed the past 27 months can think Fauci is anything but a charlatan. Yet, they invited and applauded him.
Yes, that is a tradition, and I gave that speech my year.
I've studied a lot of languages myself, both in that high school, at Princeton, and later on, but I can't say I ever achieved fluency in any foreign language.

And yes, pro-"vaxx." Like that worked.
