<p>It’s a very good library in the grand scheme of things, but as you can see from the figures above relative to the other 7 Ivies it ranks dead last by every available measure. </p>
<p>Library resources per student are actually a good indicator of many other measures of resources per student, such as advising per student, fellowships per student, etc. They are also closely correlated with endowment per student. That’s one reason why any ranking claiming to indicate educational quality, that shows Penn above the other 7 Ivies, is highly questionable.</p>
