...most of which it far outshines Berkeley. Returning to weighting, and omitting professional schools, I allowed three points for a "first," two for a "second," one for a "third." The results were Harvard 42, Berkeley 31! Yale received 16 points to Stanford's eight; yet you report Cartter as ranking Stanford third...
...report confines itself to rating the graduate departments in 29 academic disciplines at the 106 universities that turn out the most graduate degrees. Yet its author, Allan Cartter, a vice president of the council, former graduate dean at Duke University, and newly named chancellor of New York University, believes that there is "a lot of carryover" between a strong graduate program and the corresponding undergraduate program at the same school. The report is certain to be taken as a guide to where a student can get a good education in his field...
Best Balanced: Berkeley. Cartter makes only one sweeping conclusion: based on the quality of its graduate faculty, he rates the University of California at Berkeley as "the best balanced distinguished university in the country." The lead stems from an average of individual discipline ratings in five broad fields, and even though Berkeley ranks second to Harvard in humanities, social sciences, biological sciences and physical sciences, Harvard falls critically short in engineering. In the "effectiveness" of graduate programs (see table), the two schools are closer: Harvard rates first in nine of the 29 disciplines, Berkeley in seven; yet 20 of Berkeley...
...plague of higher education in the South has been its complacent "intellectual provincialism" and its dearth of leaders with the ambition to "rise above regional standards." So argued Allan M. Cartter, vice president of the American Council on Education, after a study of Southern universities. Yet Cartter also found signs of "a real educational renaissance" at four private schools that have in recent years acquired new presidents and got on the move...
Those schools, however, are exceptions. As Cartter says, there is a close correlation between the size of a library and the quality of a university. Thus most U.S. colleges are severely handicapped by inadequate libraries, since, among other factors, it is the quality of the library that attracts good faculty members and graduate students...
