What does this mean? Not "the New England type"? Ivy League is Ivy League.
(Kudos to you BTW.)

There is a distinct difference in tenor between Harvard/Yale/Dartmouth/Brown and Princeton/Cornell/Penn/Columbia. Although Princeton appears to be trying to get into the former group and Brown is sort of in its own group.
And I just realized those two sentences make me sound like a jackass.

Really? Why?
You're just classifying particular objects into groups. If talking about certain intellectual circles makes you a jackass, then... Yeah, I don't get it. I guess you think some may think that doing this is... too high-brow or pretentious? It isn't, so... ?

Sound to others like a jackass. I don't sound like a jackass to myself.

I'm offended.
I was born in New Jersey and educated in Pennsylvania (not from New England or the south).
I am Catholic, not Puritan or any other "newer" Christian sect.
I was educated at an Ivy League institution... but... well, not really the New England type.
I've never seen a real-life plantation.
WEAK SAUCE!
