[The Foreign Service] was an elite realm to which only men of a certain pedigree could expect ready admission. Many had gone to the same prep schools...and from there to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. One such official, Hugh Wilson, in praise of his fellow diplomats wrote, “They have all felt that they belonged to a pretty good club. That feeling has fostered a healthy esprit de corps."
- Erik Larson, ''In the Garden of Beasts'
