In my previous post today, I gave the numbers of the members of the National Academy of Sciences for NYU (26) and U. of Michigan (19, not 16, sorry), as well as for the leading public research universities.

To put them in perspective, here are the NAS membership numbers for the leading private universities:

Harvard 162
Stanford 126
MIT 103
Caltech 74
Princeton 73
Yale 60
Columbia 43
U. of Chicago 41
Cornell 39
U. of Pennsylvania 33
Duke 18
Northwestern 17
USC 10
Vanderbilt 4
Dartmouth 2
Georgetown 0
Notre Dame 0

Everyone can draw their own conclusions.
