The meeting with Summers, who also served as Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton and was President Obama's top economic advisor, and students Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss was dramatized in the movie The Social Network.
"Rarely have I encountered such swagger and I tried to respond in kind," recalled Summers, who further noted:
"One of the things you learn as a college president is if an undergraduate is wearing a tie and a jacket on Thursday afternoon at three o'clock, there are two possibilities. One is that they're looking for a job and have an interview; the other is that they are an asshole. This was the later case."
