[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Harvard, Brown, Dartmouth, Berkeley and Cornell have gone down.

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.

Cornell is currently 17, and all of these schools are at the lower end of these ranges. I agree these schools are down while Vanderbilt, washU are up.[/quote]

I think the  LACs and LAC-like schools (like Dartmouth and Brown) lost most grounding vs. research-focused schools like Vandy, WashU, Rice etc.[/quote]

Again with the "LAC-like schools"  Dartmouth and Brown are both R1 research universities.

They both have LACs within them, as does nearly every university on the planet.[/quote]
