<p>theluckstar: I should have done a better job of sarcasm. I was kidding. I did not hear President Zimmer say that. I was just peevishly responding to ennis’s comment that “it would be foolish for the college to tell everyone to get a PhD.” As if UChicago tells everyone to get a PhD! Who would do that? Answer: no one. Maybe especially UChicago. </p>
<p>UChicago people are proud of their school (justifiably), but very few if any of te alums are fixated on rankings. In fact, I’ve observed the opposite.</p>
