Fun fact. Michigan is older than UVA. [/quote]

Nice try, but not really. [b]UofM officially dates itself from 1837. UVA officially dates itself from 1819.[/b] Prior to Michigan’s official date, it was some weird primary school located in Detroit. In contrast, when UVA opened, students could immediately study in one of eight university-level schools, including sophisticated subjects, like law and medicine. [/quote]

The University of Michigan officially dates itself to 1817 and celebrated its bicentennial in 2017.  UVA opened for classes in 1825.[/quote]

Let’s quit playing games and post UofM’s webpage on this nonsense. To be clear, it’s very convoluted and in the eye of the beholder. I’m pretty sure that the date has nothing to do with weathly people attending the school.

Michigan’s endowment is much larger than UVA’s. A huge percentage of the $$$ are from OOS graduate donors.  [/quote]

Again, what does that have to do with the institution’s age?[/quote]
