At the same time, it's easy to believe that MIT of 2013 is very different than MIT of 1988.

While that's entirely possible, MIT was established in 1861. I think the old boys club was established long before 1988.

    I’m pretty sure MIT had a “state school” stigma until after WWII. Vandaveer Bush made sure they got lots of war research.
