- They refer to undergrad alumni with the year of graduation [e.g., Mr. Awesome McFancypants ('09)] and only list degrees for graduate alumni [e.g., Dr. Degenerate Scum (PhD '09)].

From wikipedia:
Alma mater (Latin alma "nourishing/kind", mater "mother"; pl. [rarely used] almae matres) is a term that was used in ancient Rome as a title for various mother goddesses, especially Ceres or Cybele,[1] and later in Christianity for the Virgin Mary. In many modern languages it is principally heard as a term of academia. It may also refer to the school, college or university from which an individual has graduated or which they have attended, and is usually the one from which one has received a bachelor's degree or associate's degree– i.e., where one is considered an alumnus/alumna
스탠퍼드 대학원 가서 "스탠부심" 좀 부려볼려 했더니

교수들 뒤치닥 거리 하라고 고용당한 부하직원 그 이상 그 이하도 아닌것인가요?
스탠퍼드 대학원가서 '나 스탠퍼드생이야!' 하는건 서울대 대학원가서 '나 서울대생이야!' 하는거랑 차이가없는 행동인가요?
