[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]interesting article. You will note that the best of the "best of the best" at the academies truly are smart: Ranking College Number of Rhodes Scholars 1 Harvard 323 2 Yale 217 3 Princeton 192 4 West Point 85 5 Stanford 82 6 Dartmouth 60 7 UChicago 45 8 Brown 45 9 Virginia 45 10 Naval Academy 43[/quote] Perhaps. Note however that the state and district-based selection zones makes comparison difficult. http://www.rhodesscholar.org/winners/college-and-university-winners/ Note also that the Rhodes selection criteria place very heavy emphasis on athletics and public service, which might also skew the selection process in favor of service academies. Not to take anything away from the people there, but there are reasons the numbers come out this way ....[/quote]
