<p>Nobody’s knocking anybody for being early. You don’t have to be so sensitive about your school. Caltech deserves praise for being the first to the game, just like Notre Dame, Alabama, and Army deserve praise for dominating college football back in the early days of football. </p>
<p>But my point is the past is the past, the past is not destiny. Like it or not, a lot of Caltech’s accomplishments were in the deep past. That’s undeniable. Does that mean that Caltech is bad now? Of course not. Caltech is very good now. But it means that Caltech’s accomplishments have to be looked at in its entirety, and with the proper chronological perspective.</p>
