Yup.  The mother of one of my college housemates routinely introduced 
her apparently non-verbal husband as "...and this is Dr. Gerald Horton, 
Harvard Class of  '42." 

A few years ago I became acquainted with a former -- and quite elderly 
-- Lawrence, Massachusetts city council member who must have been one of 
the Harvard Coop's favorite customers.  He passed out a Harvard souvenir 
ink pen to everyone he met, extracting it with a flourish from the top 
pocket of his Harvard crest-emblazoned blazer.  He wore this same jacket 
all day, every day. 

As Bugs Bunny -- and our friend Mr. Mason -- said:  "What a maroon."  
Indeed.
