Penn is in motion, and Columbia ain’t. In 10 years, if Guttman has her way, we’ll cement ourselves as a research powerhouse that matches any other university on the East coast.

<p>Harvard and Princeton must be shaking in their boots. Ironically, since Guttman studied at one and taught at the other, if either came calling, she’d run back faster than you could say “Philly Cheesesteak.”</p>

but Stanford - whoever planned the development of that institution knew what he/she was doing)

<p>I agree. Penn will never catch up to Stanford. In less than half the time, Stanford has accomplished more than twice as much.</p>
