Newsweek this
week has an article in which the authors declare that the Ivy League or
high-caliber schools should be extended to include a list of what they
considered to be the top 25 schools in the nation. Among the schools
listed in the article’s proposed new Ivy League are UNC-Chapel Hill and
Davidson.
My first guess is that this is another in the long line
of useless raitings of colleges that attempt to promote the college
football poll system to analyze the quality of institutions.
Other schools on the list include Notre Dame, Boston College, UCLA,
Vanderbilt, Rice, Michigan, Emory University, and the University of
Virginia among others. Not included in the article was Duke University,
which was considered as a competitor to several of the new “ivies.”
