"I hate these university types, always so pompous"

Jane mutters to himself. Why is it these 'educated types' can spot someone who's, let's say, lacking in the conventional educational experience. They immediately invoke a 'holier than thou' attitude and look down their noses at him and invariable he has an overwhelming urge to bring them down a peg or too, and it's so easy. But today he's to show'his best behaviour' even better than his 'best behaviour' she said. As if he'd do anything to ruin his daughter's chances of attending Cornell, her first college choice and hearts desire.
