<p>It's good that y'all are taking a look at some of the LAC's. Keep in mind that rankings for classics departments invariably include only those schools that run PhD programs, which necessarily exclude the LAC's. I would argue that the elite LAC's like AWS are better at Classics than many of the research universities listed above. Bryn Mawr is a special case because it is one of the few LAC's that actually run PhD programs.</p>
