<p>slipper, I'm sure Dartmouth is a pretty place, lots of money for you kids to play with and all, but please take some classes on data analysis, decision making, how to properly compare etc. Your incessant comparisons of D to M, claiming D's superiority are getting a bit boring and trite. To compare two such radically different institutions only shows your own youth. If you ever took a stats course, you might learn that MEAN is only one way to look at a distribution. One can also look at SD, a proxy for range, for example. </p>
<p>A more honest comparison might look, for example, at U. Mich's honors college members in comparison to Dartmouth. Then again, what's the point. They are both fine institutions in their own way.</p>
