<p>Okay, let's make a list of schools that have world famous professors actively teaching!</p>
<p>Boston University - Elie Wiesel, Howard Zinn</p>
<p>Continue! :)</p>
<p>I prefer good teachers over famous ones.</p>
<p>Most of them are just graduate research professors (i.e they don't teach). Do you want to count them?</p>
<p>Eric Foner- Columbia</p>
<p>noam chomsky - MIT</p>
<p>Ya...how about a brief bio involving them...</p>
<p>Alan Dershowitz - Harvard
Andrew Wiles - Princeton
Stephen Hawking - Cambridge
Tim Berners-Lee - MIT
Jack Welch (just as a special lecturer) - MIT
Jeffrey Sachs - Columbia
Joseph Stiglitz - Columbia
Jared Diamond - UCLA
David Ho - Rockefeller</p>
<p>Let's see...</p>
<p>Richard Stanley - MIT
Edward Witten - Princeton
Kip S. Thorne - Caltech
Roger Penrose - Oxford
Ken Ribet - Berkeley</p>
<p>Professors aren't made famous for their teaching skills, so only so much stock should be put in a list of schools where famous professors conduct their research</p>
<p>^^ Agreed, famous in what sense? Anyway, I took a class with Ribet last semester and he was amazing!</p>
<p>There are the rare ones that are both brilliant and gifted at teaching. Ribet is one of them and Feynman was one also.</p>
<p>Maybe not legendary, but..</p>
<p>Steven Levitt (Freakonomics)-- University of Chicago
Harold Bloom- Yale</p>
<p>Colin Powell, Madeline Albright - Georgetown U.</p>
<p>Maya Angelou- Wake Forest (somehow she owns a house on my street....weird)</p>
<p>good luck finding these types teaching undergrads, and those that do, in classes that arent big lectures...</p>
<p>What exactly makes a prof legendary??????</p>
<p>Toni Morrison and Joyce Carol Oates are associated with Princeton, but I don't know if they teach there.</p>
<p>former pres of brazil--brown IR</p>
<p>Bill Nye - Cornell</p>
<p>STEPHEN HAWKING!!!-University of Cambridge</p>
