<p>Those of us who know UChicago well are not surprised by the College’s recent rise. Most of us see it as something that’s long over-due. Some see it as merely an alignment with, or an elevation to, the calibre of this institution’s graduate programs.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, there are a lot of non-believers. I can understand where they are coming from, and I don’t blame them. I am not surprised by people’s reactions, but for those who know this school well, the institution’s rise is not surprising at all.</p>
<p>It’s not a pride thing (though we’re pretty proud of it). It’s something real.</p>
