I think pretty highly of Case Western and its physics department. I always remember one of the classic experiments in physics, the Michelson-Morley experiment, was done there. When I was growing up in Ohio in the '70s I considered Case Western for college. Many considered it the best school in the state. They made a mild attempt to recruit me for football, but at the time I believe the school had the longest losing streak in football in the country. One of the reasons I turned it down was because the school looked too academically rigorous for me.
