The University of Michigan Ann Arbor became a favored choice for bright Jewish students from New York in the 1920s and 1930s when the Ivy League schools had quotas restricting the number of Jews to be admitted. As a result, U-M gained the nickname "Harvard of the West," which became commonly parodied in reverse after John F. Kennedy referred to himself as "a graduate of the Michigan of the East, Harvard University" in his speech proposing the formation of the Peace Corps while on the front steps of the Michigan Union.
Since Michigan is known as the "Harvard of the West", you can buy a t-shirt in the Michigan bookstore that has "Harvard" in big letters, the Harvard school seal, and then underneath the words "The Michigan of the East".

Get the Harvard of the West mug.The chief global center of greed, decadence and corruption. A school where the administration has no respect for freedom of speech and to be admitted you either have to be some rich jew's kid, some transgender 1/64th native american sports jock or some totally unqualified affirmative action douchebag who barks really loud and knows how to use their special 'identity' to get some from the rest of the world.
Ira Jewberg donated $50 million in money stolen from the working man to Harvard Jewniversity to secure a spot for his rich, spoiled, transgender jew athlete 1/64th Native American kid so they can be a do nothing billionaire CEO and fuck over the rest of the world under the guise of making the world a better place. Meanwhile Asian Americans with perfect SAT scores and grades are being turned down right and left with no explanation.

Get the harvard club mug.Yales' ridiculously overconfident douche of a cousin. School where you can work unbelieveably hard to get accepted, actually get accepted, then realize during the first semester you should've gone to Yale. Quite frankly, even Brown (shudder) would've been a better choice. In recent years people have realized hiring people simply because they went to Harvard is useless, as normally they have to pay to bring in a Yalie to do the job afterwards. Then they have to bring the Brown man (who is now a plumber) to show the Harvard man how to take a shit. In short, a school that (despite constantly being on top of superficial lists written by people who either went to or fear Harvard) is inferior both academically and athletically to Yale. Go BULLDOGS.
Tom: Sarah graduated from Yale last weekend.
Steve: Oh really, thats great!
Tom: Not really. She realized she is actually dumber now than she was 4 years ago when she started, so now shes going to try her hand at Yale, if she can get in.
A student fan from each Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Brown are standing on a cliff together during football season. The Princeton man runs forward and yells, "This is for the Tigers!". Not to be outdone, the Brown man runs forward and yells "This is for the Bears!". Aghast at what just happened, the Yale and Harvard men look at each other in shock. The Yale man shrugs, as if to say "hey why not". The Harvard man scoffs and looks at the Yale man like hes an idiot. Then the Yale man proceeds to push the Harvard man off the cliff proclaiming "This is for all mankind".
