But some are still trying to deflect the "old boys' club" image, and A.D. club graduate president Patrick Grant Jr. '70 says any networking occurring at the A.D. is unintentional.
"I don't think there's any sort of plan, but every now and then it probably happens," he says.
Grant adds that networking would be almost impossible because the A.D. does not compile a comprehensive address and job list of its alumni--and, he claims, it never has.
"I was there in 1970 and there was no networking whatsoever," Grant maintains. "I don't think it's changed one iota."
