Goethe describes the ivy league

Michael Knox Beran channels Goethe: A pithy, Germanic description of our leaders?

I have, alas, studied philosophy
Jurisprudence and medicine too
And worst of all theology
With keen endeavor, through and through ----
And here I am, for all my lore,
The wretched fool I was before.

Faust

'nug gesagt ('nuff said)

    Did any angels get their wings today?
