[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Penn was one of the founding universities of the Association of American Universities in 1900.

These are 
University of California, 
The University of Chicago, 
Clark University, 
Columbia University,
Cornell University, 
Harvard University, 
Johns Hopkins University,
University of Michigan, 
Princeton University, 
University of Pennsylvania, 
Stanford University, 
University of Wisconsin, and 
Yale University

Other than Clark, anybody will recognize these names, so yes, Penn has been prestigious for at least 100 years [/quote]

No one cares who the founding members of the AAU were.[/quote]

Your are a moron. The AAU is a list of the most prestigious universities in the country. If you don't know something, just stfu[/quote]

You're a moron, and you don't know anything about who I am. STFU if you don't know what you're talking about.[/quote]

DP but I think your response here paints you as the mo-ron [/quote]

You also have no idea what you're talking about. The AAU is a roster of universities that conduct high-impact research, not a list "of the most prestigious universities in the country" (and for the record, there are two Canadian universities included in the AAU). By the PP's own admission, Clark, one of the founding members of the AAU, is not prestigious. Most would also not consider Wisconsin one of "the most prestigious universities in the country." In fact, a majority of the universities in the AAU would be completely balked at by DCUM users like you who know very little and yet speak very loudly -- schools like Arizona, Buffalo, Iowa State.

I say this as someone who went to a research university that is part of the AAU -- just because a school has excellent research does not necessarily mean it is prestigious. Sure, there is often a correlation, and one often begets the other, but they are not one and the same.

Both you and PP come off as the "morons" and, due to the aggressive and overdramatic response of the PP, complete and utter imbeciles.[/quote]

PP is nuts.[/quote]
