In terms of scholarly work, it appears that Yale is better than Princeton ([Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities](http://ranking.heeact.edu.tw/en-us/2009%20by%20Fields/Domain/SOC)), but this is discounted by the fact that Princeton does not have a Law school. In terms of peer review, Princeton appears to fare better than Yale in most of the disciplines except English ([Best Social Sciences and Humanities Schools - Graduate Schools - Education - US News and World Report](http://grad-schools.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-humanities-schools)). For Princeton, publication is a concern, because lack of competitiveness in publication will eventually catch up with the reputation (peer review).
