| “Die, you bastard! Die!”: “It’s not enough to succeed. Others must fail.”—Gore Vidal ‘47 |

 |
For centuries Stutts alums have lain awake at night, asking themselves questions like, "Am I a failure? Has all this rushing towards achievement added up to nothing? What do I say when my teenager calls me a ball-less corporate sellout'?"
It used to be that these questions could only be answered through deep introspection, followed by an embarrassing midlife crisis and tedious increase in religious faith. No longer!
Using a complex formula taking into account your fame, income, reputation, spouse's attractiveness, ability to get a table at fancy restaurants and literally hundreds of other factors, we can now calcuate the quality of your life. That numerical value can then be compared to the values of other Stutts alumni, so that you can make important life decisions based on impressing everyone else, whether it makes you happy or not.
Think you've done pretty well for yourself? Below are the leaders from each Class. If you think you can beat them, contact Stutts' Department of Ranks and Shaming for a semi-private consultation.
