[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's true. Read "Oxford Days".[/quote] That's your source? For anyone following, have fun cataloging the ways Paul West's memoir is problematic as evidence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_West_(writer) [/quote] Paul West studied under Gilbert Highet at Columbia, idiot.[/quote] Bless your heart. One Brit who attended college well after WWII and slavered over Oxbridge (to which he did not gain admission as an undergraduate) decides that the American institution where he got his master's is the most prestigious place in the US, much better than those other places everyone has heard of. Okey-doke. If you want to argue that Columbia was in some objective way (more-educated faculty, higher-achieving students) better than Harvard or Yale, I'm sure you can do it. But it's hard to quantify prestige to begin with, and one outsider's self-serving opinion isn't going to get you there. [/quote]
