Ah, a point on which we can disagree. Rhodes, Marshall, Truman etc. measure performance at top levels. Fullbright, although it emphasizes more diverse backgrounds and does not have the strict academic achievement gating factor, also recognizes achievement, albeit of a different nature.
These things count, and definitely matter on a resume later in life, AND, they measure student achievement, an output, unlike Nobel Prizes, which relate to faculty. |
