In a similar vein, I was introduced to a new guy at work. He was a bit of a stiff and was referred to by a friend as "Blue Blazer." I happened to mention to him that I was from New Jersey. He said "Oh, I went to college in New Jersey." To which I replied "Really? Which college?"

That was all he needed to know that I wasn't worth bothering with ever again.

I'll say he's a stiff.

Westminster Choir College is among the best music schools in the country. And Stevens is a first-class engineering school.

And P.U. used to be known as "College of New Jersey", which is now a pretty good school in its own right.

When I was there, one didn't make a big deal out of ones attendance. If people you didn't know asked where you went to school, you usually said, "Oh, the College of New Jersey" which was a graceful way to slide out of coming the ugly over people.

Shouldn’t that be the other way around? What did you need him for?
