<p>I don’t get why so many people object to MIT just because it’s more technical and less liberal arts. What the hell does that have to do with anything? The students there are as smart as at any Ivy school. It’s not like they are going to decide a tied football game with a spelling bee or a topology proof. Methinks current Ivies are worried about being shoved down a peg by the addition of MIT (which is the only college in the country that would join as a member of the upper tier of ivies–don’t give me that Stanford crap).</p>
