[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to understand that Cornell is the land grant university of New York State.  It had agriculture and engineering from the start.  It evolved in a different way than the rest of the Ivy League.  If anything, I think Cornell is underrated.  Being in a rural location hurts its prestige.  [b]It was a great university before the Ivy League was formed in the 1950s.[/b]  I can remember when Cornell was considered better or equal than Brown, Dartmouth and Penn.  Now, Cornell gets bashed as a "lesser" Ivy.  Yet there are Cornell PhDs teaching in the rest of the Ivy League.  Cornell has diversity in people and programs that is unmatched in the rest of the Ivy League.  [/quote]

I agree with underrated. I found it interesting that Stanford was modeled on ([url="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_University"]"The Cornell of the West"[/url]), and started with, its first president/faculty pinched from Cornell.
Cornell has a very different structure and mission from the rest of the Ivy League.[/quote]
