[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a question particularly for those knowledgeable about university history.  Of the T10 US universities, which are all exceptional, Harvard particularly stands out as a brand--one that surprisingly blows away every other university.  This is true even compared to other old universities (like Yale) and especially true from the the vantage point of those outside the US.  But in a way, this is surprising because it was not historically inevitable; other universities could have overtaken Harvard, but never did and the brand just seems to be getting stronger.  Wealth is not a complete explanation, since there are other wealthy universities (perhaps even wealthier on a per capita basis).  It can't be because of extraordinary management, as Harvard is often regarded as somewhat poorly managed and steeped in inertia.  So I'm curious what particular historical events transpired to bring Harvard forth as the brand synonymous with university excellence.  [/quote]

It's not.  Your whole question is flawed.  Biggest brands -- Stanford, MIT, Yale, Princeton.[/quote]

Ha ha. Funny. Harvard trumps them all. And they all had anti-Israel protests by the way, not just Harvard [/quote]
