In the news and social media sphere recently is the debate about whether a Harvard University extension master’s degree is appropriately referred to as merely a “Harvard degree”.
Now we’ve got official folks clarifying that indeed it is.
Ok. But is an HES degree a “Harvard degree” the way a Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is a “Nobel Prize” — or the way a Cygnet is an “Aston Martin”?
The way Sinatra was a member of the “Rat Pack” — or the way Joey Bishop was?
The way John Lennon was the best — or like Pete Best?
Like F. Murray Abraham and Richard Strauss — or like Abraham & Strauss?
Like Barack Obama — or like Afrika Bambaataa?
Like the great Bruce Willis who cannot talk — or like “Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Willis?”?
Like mogul skiing — or a mogul sulking?
Like the Marx Brothers — or the Marx comrades?
Like Mr. Spock and Dr, Spock — or like Mr. Bill and Dr. Phil?
Like Steve Jobs-ing for Apple — or like Bob-ing for apples?
Like Gilligan,
The Skipper too,
The Millionaire and his Wife,
The Movie Star —
or “the rest”?
Like Fats Domino — or fat from Domino’s?
Like 20/20 — or 2020?
