I've never displayed my letters - and come to think of it, I don't know where the evidence for any of my qualifications is, because I have never had occasion to present it.

But the university I got my M.A, from is unique and small enough that there is a frisson of freemasonic recognition if I meet any fellow graduates. I suppose that is true of most hard-to-get-into universities.
