I don't take it as a given that Harvard is the most important educational institution in the States. It may be for politicians and legacy families, but those two groups don't represent very many people.

The Ivy League is living on hubris. You can get a better education at lots of other universities. It is the BS status of the name of the university. My ex taught at Yale and I saw the legacy and daddy donated a building students get their gentlemenтАЩs C and their degree. Harvard is not the most important or best university in the US. It is all a house of cards.
You're right, but when you look at the fact that Harvard, to borrow from David Frum, is a hedge fund with a university attached to it, Harvard is quite important.

I grant you that parameter.
Harvard and its Ivy brethren may be elite institutions, but when I look at the kind of people they're sending out into the world, I cringe.
They offer proof to the accusation that the purpose of "education" is to get rich.
Or more explicitly, to achieve wealth without paying any sort of price for detestable behavior.
Ethics and morals courses only offered to pad one's GPA.
Damn. You're more cynical about that than I am. ЁЯШО
