Do you think it's desirable to maintain a college culture that is biased towards the children of people that have yachts?

Those people practically don't exist, so who cares? They are a rounding error, if that.

It is desirable to maintain a college culture that is biased towards people who read about lots of different things, including yachts. Reading is good.

The choice of reading material matters. I don't count "The Cat In The Hat" and "Teen Magazine" the same as "The Grapes of Wrath", "Hamlet", "The Scarlet Letter", and "As I Lay Dying".
