<p>I’m fascinated by @tk21769 's post because it seems to turn @PurpleTitan 's ranking on its head. It isn’t just Dartmouth. Many, if not most, of the “ivy equivalents” are gathered near the bottom of the doctoral producers, even though ironically, quite a few of them are RUs and presumably magnets for doctorate-seekers. Is there an inverse relationship between producing PhDs and producing future leaders?</p>
