[quote=Anonymous]From Wikipedia:

Stanford's academic strength is broad with 40 departments in the three academic schools that have undergraduate students and another four professional schools. Students compete in 36 varsity sports, and the university is one of two private institutions in the Division I FBS Pacific-12 Conference. It has gained 107 NCAA team championships, the second-most for a university, 476 individual championships, the most in Division I,[27] and has won the NACDA Directors' Cup, recognizing the university with the best overall athletic team achievement, every year since 1994-1995.[28]

Stanford faculty and alumni have founded many companies including Google, Hewlett-Packard, Nike, Sun Microsystems, Instagram and Yahoo!, and companies founded by Stanford alumni generate more than $2.7 trillion in annual revenue, equivalent to the 10th-largest economy in the world.[29] It is the alma mater of 30 living billionaires, 17 astronauts, and 18 Turing Award laureates.[note 2] It is also one of the leading producers of members of the United States Congress.[48][49] The University has affiliated with 59 Nobel laureates and 2 Fields Medalists (when awarded).[50][51]

Is there even any basis for comparison?  First time I've ever heard the two schools mentioned together.  Stanford vs Harvard?  That's a debate with no clear winner.[/quote]
