<p>I can appreciate your attitude re: the obnoxiousness, trollnyc. That said, I think that the examples you’ve given; Google, Yahoo, etc., pretty much proves my point. Yes, Stanford is a freaking amazing school. Their engineering program, their business and law programs are out of this world. But, and I really want to emphasize this, this is so very different from the “community of scholars” that Chicago cultivates. Sure, Chicago has its share of professionals and techies, but the ideal of the school is really a world apart from Stanford, in good ways and bad.</p>
