In the book Excellent Sheep, the author, a former Yale professor, writes somewhat cuttingly about a few of them:
“My examples come from Yale [whose students the author has already characterized as having aspects of “excellent sheep”], since that is mainly where I taught. If anything, it probably deserves its reputation as being the best among elite universities (as distinct from liberal arts colleges) at nurturing creativity and intellectual independence. Notoriously preprofessional places like Penn, Duke, or Washington University, or notoriously anti-intellectual ones like Princeton or Dartmouth, are clearly far worse.”
