@Fifty - I really question the relevance of some of these accolades. It is not like many of the Nobel prize winners will be on staff to teach undergrad classes to current students, and Harvard’s lead in Rhodes scholars was established over a 110 year period while Duke and other similar institutions have been strongly pushing academics for a much shorter time period.

What should be a concern to today’s students is what they get out of a university education to benefit them tomorrow, and not be bogged down in a largely meaningless past.
