How many Harvards?
When I attended Washington University in St. Louis many years ago, I recall people referring to it as the "Harvard of the midwest." (In what then passed as clever, there were also t-shirts saying that Harvard was the "Wash U of the East.") And today in some thread I've already forgotten, I noticed someone's alma mater was called the "Harvard of the South."
How many other Harvards are purportedly out there? |

My alma mater Arkansas is the Harvard of Washington County, Arkansas. |

I guess it's just for really strong academic schools that are in random places. |

Oddly enough, Virginia Western Community College is reffered to as "Harvard on the hill", because the first professor to accept a position was a harvard professor for years.
