"Rarely, have I encountered such swagger, and I tried to respond in kind," Summers said at Fortune’s Brainstorm Tech conference. "One of the things you learn as a college president is that if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities.
