This woman became a minor legend right out of the chute. She was being introduced around in the newsroom and her presenter noted to someone that she was a Northwestern graduate. Sensing that the person hearing this might not be familiar with Northwestern, our new hire explained that it was a private liberal arts college located just outside Chicago.

Some regarded that as a tad condescending, especially since we already had a few Northwestern grads on the staff.

To be fair, though, there is always the possibility that the previous introduction (and mention of Northwestern) might have elicited a blank look. So perhaps instead of being a snob, she was trying for the opposite. Who knows?

Anyway, that link is probably old. But I love the idea of someone who once worked at the SR listing Paris as her primary residence.
