<p>What is happening here on CC? All this even-handedness. I hardly recognize this place anymore. First it was all the praise heaped on Midd from Bowdoin Alums (and vice versa). Now it’s admission of (slightly) biased stats. Have we all decided that Williams and Amherst are the enemy, so we’ve agreed to peace with each other? The enemy of my enemy is my friend? I’m not sure what to think anymore. I remember when I was a Freshman at Midd I had to see a specialist in Boston. He was reading my records and said, “Middlebury, huh . . . couldn’t get into a good school?”. He then told me he had graduated from Williams. It was that good-natured ribbing that let me know I was part of the NESCAC club and that we all respected each other for the similar experience we shared. I have to say, I appreciate the honesty and even handed approach to these very similar schools, but I miss some of the well-intentioned ribbing.</p>
