It was clear that one day the Ivy League would grow
desperate. The year was 2020, the average tuition (per
year) for each institution was $84,242 and they just
weren't getting enough applicants. So they decided, in a
rash, unprecendented move, to take out advertising in the
middle of Sesame Street episodes, to differentiate
themselves from their competitors. Read on for their
masterful slogans...

you havea nose ring? Are you terribly progressive and do you have a
