<p>The President of Estonia is a Columbia grad. Oh, and the President of Georgia too. But yes, sigh, it's true, the Columbia name doesn't carry as much weight as Harvard's in obscure former Soviet statelets...until being led, inevitably, by Columbians.</p>
<p>^ I met an Estonian girl over the summer and her sole ambition was tho go to harvard because "its the best university in the world"
she was 14 too and she speaks like 4 languages</p>

<p>"Just a quick dumb question-
Why are the fact that Natalie Portman or Conan O'Brien went to Harvard relevant? Natalie Portman graduated in 2003, and O'Brien graduated in 1985- it's not like they're ever on the campus."</p>
<p>Actually, Conan O' Brien gave a very funny Harvard commencement speech in 2000: <a href="http://www.february-7.com/features/conan.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.february-7.com/features/conan.htm</a></p>
