Columbia, Hopkins, U Chicago, Stanford, Rice, MIT, CalTech came up.[/quote]

Oh, you! First by assuming "stature" is a thing that matters and can be put on a scale.  Second by starting your list with "Harvard" which literally has been the generic term for the #1 college since it's inception in 1636.

You silly person!  Just stop![/quote]

Brown, Dartmouth, Berkeley down.  Cornell down too (just look at rankings)

UP:  JHU, Stanford and Chicago[/quote]

You silly, silly person!

First, rankings don't matter.  But if they did:

Brown has bounced between 10-17 consistently since the inception of USN.
Dartmouth between 6-12
Berkeley between 13-22
Cornell between 11-16 (with one outlier year at 6)

This is out of 3,000 colleges.

You are, as they used to say in my neighborhood, talking out of your ass.

Dartmouth has actually fallen out of the top 10, and Cornell is now ranked below Vanderbilt, JHU, etc.[/quote]
