<p>Thank you for you kind words about WashU, Lowesttax.</p>
<p>These days I have been reading forums about this loved&hated university. From almost total invective around year 2000 to mild suspicion after 2005 and finally to "a harvard in the widest," WashU grows from an elite institions in itself to an elite instition in one's heart. </p>
<p>It's just great.</p>
