[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke may be the closest.  But really, it is not that close.[/quote]

I'm not saying you're wrong because this is my perception as well but...how do you actually know this? Are you just basing this on rankings?[/quote]

Harvard does better than Duke in pretty much everything (other than sports / basketball).  Its graduates do better in pay in all areas that WSJ reported last year.  It has twice as many graduate programs ranked in the top 10 and the average rank is much higher.  Duke, although a relatively wealth school, has an endowment per student about the same as Washington and Lee.  Harvard's is much, much higher.  There is no comparison for notable alumni and faculty.  On a per capita basis, Harvard is multiples higher on Rhodes, Fulbrights, and other prestigious awards.  There is no comparison for history and historical significance.  Duke is really just 100 years old.  [/quote]

Harvard is at or near the top for any rating of the best universities in the world.  Duke is not and never will be.  [/quote]
