[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a shorthand way of describing schools exhibiting particularly attractive academic traits. "Ivy" is a useful term for that characteristic. How do others here feel about Stanford? MIT? Caltech? Duke? Chicago? Middlebury? Johns Hopkins? I mean, they're also not Ivies. So they're not worthy of comparison, or of being grouped with Ivies as excellent schools? [b]The term originated in the 1980s, with three schools consistently at the top: UVA, Michigan, Cal. It's a clever bit of branding that stuck[/b]. What would be better? Public "HYPSM's"?[/quote] Those elites you mentioned sans Middlebury — which few have heard of, let alone care about — are generally coined “Ivy Plus” meaning the Ivies plus 7-8 non Ivy top private research universities.[/quote] See: that uses "Ivy" + modifier as well. [/quote] The original author didn't rank them. [/quote]
