If anything, if two colleges take similar quality of students and one college produces better chemists, engineers, whatever, wouldn't that college be inherently better?

The strength of a program or major at a college is obviously dependent on the quality of students but also on the quality of faculty and the availability of resources. So, if Cornell has a stronger X program than Tufts despite similar quality of students, Cornell must be contributing something in the faculty/resources department.
