<p>I don’t know about the nobel thing. I’m sure they came up with some unique way of counting it so that Columbia has the most and they can thus claim that, but generally speaking, UChicago likes to labor the ‘we have the most nobel prizes’ distinguishment. Which isn’t to say we’re pretty badass in that department either. This is just the first time I’ve seen us make that claim. Notice it doesn’t specify anywhere by what method we claim to have the most. I mean since when did Universities ‘win’ Nobel prizes? (Yes I know, people affiliated with the University are counted but which ones, and when? Faculty who win after leaving? Alum of Barnard included? Drop outs? etc.) ;)</p>
