<p>Thanks for clearing that up phantasmagoric.</p>
<p>I tend to be a bit skeptical about rankings because I feel it’s inherently more difficult to quantify humanities as opposed to science. Perhaps peer assessment would be the best, but I’m really more interested in reputation within academic circles.</p>
<p>As for U of Chicago, is the consensus still that they are up there with HYP? The strength of their economics department is beyond question, but I wonder if their humanities departments share that same level of dedication and tradition.</p>
