Here is a Harvard alumnus who is exceptionally impressed with UChicago College’s rise. Except for Medical subjects , UChicago is an absolute peer and has done this with much less money. I am less impressed with the verbose carping about the University from its own alums and their bizarre dedication to past visions of a morose ascetic experience in a Sparta like-intellectual monastery. Wake up and smell the Humus. This no longer works in a global educational market place with this generation. Also, I hope that the new UChicago will instill much needed humor in its alums, which is quite needed as evident by some posters here.
