<p>Where did most of the nation’s top university presidents receive their degrees? Here is a list of where the presidents of the U.S News Top 25 National Universities received their degrees (undergraduate and graduate.) If a school has announced a new president, I listed the degrees for its incoming president.</p>
<p>I grouped the UChicago listings at the top:</p>
<p>UChicago: Brandeis, Harvard
Berkeley: Wesleyan University, UChicago
Princeton: Princeton, Oxford, UChicago
UVA: Michigan State, UChicago
Yale: Stanford, Yale
Harvard: Bryn Mawr College, University of Pennsylvania
Stanford: Villanova University, State University of New York at Stony Brook
University of Pennsylvania: Harvard, London School of Economics
Duke: Yale
Caltech: Arts et M</p>
<p>Which schools produced most U.S. presidents? Maybe Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, Georgetown…</p>
<p>And governors or Senators or Representatives?</p>
<p>and the next generation of communist leaders? Harvard springs to mind</p>
<p>Too bad Chicago doesn’t produce U.S. presidents…</p>
