tintin20 - That seems like a completely erroneous claim. Yes, this is anecdotal evidence, but my father received his math Ph.D at Princeton and right after that became an assistant (i.e. untenured) professor at Harvard, and was actually shocked at how much better the grad program at Princeton seemed in comparison. He had originally hoped to get his Ph.D at Harvard, but in retrospect is intensely thankful for the experience he had at Princeton.
