<p>Because it lacks Harvard and Yale’s seductive power, Princeton may have to settle for the grinds that H and Y turn down. Overall, P’s class may not be as colorful as those of H and Y, but it’s still the best place to go for those who possess pure intellectual curiosity and want to act on it, without the distraction of blind ambition.</p>
