<p>if we use the same standards then yes columbia has the most nobel laureates affiliated than any other institution.</p>
<p>why does the number differ? uchicago and cambirdge use ‘all affiliates,’ including someone that might have just been a visiting scholar for a year. that number gives uchicago 85. but if we did that number for columbia, it would be 97.</p>
<p>if you go to columbia’s site, the school uses affiliates that have been at the school for over a year. that gives them 78. if uchicago or cambridge were to use the same standard they would have fewer nobel laureates than columbia.</p>
<p>then there is the question of who has the most nobel laureates at the time of the award. i believe harvard has the most here, cambridge second, and columbia is a bit further down.</p>
<p>then there is the question who has had the most nobel laureates graduate from their university. cambridge is first, harvard second, columbia third.</p>
<p>uchicago is a great school, but there is no measure in which uchicago has more laureates than other schools. even the measure that uchicago itself uses.</p>
<p>but the names that continue to reappear in all versions of the nobel list are columbia, cambridge and harvard.</p>
