<p>I am fairly certain that PtonGrad2000 has always lauded Harvard's graduate and professional schools.</p>

<p>i'm also pretty sure he didn't "mean to say" those harvard affiliations. this is, after all, the princeton forum. funny though that byerly should insist on including those harvard affiliations of ms. elkins - along with her princeton ones - yet turn around and (ex)claim her for harvard alone a few posts further down.</p>

<p>f.scottie, my apologies, let me be explicit.</p>

<p>PtonGrad2000 notes the excellence of an undergraduate study at Princeton.</p>

<p>Byerly points to the excellence of graduate study at Harvard, which, as you point out, f.scottie, is beside the point.</p>
