In fact, Harvard ranks behind peer institutions like Princeton and Yale in terms of arts and sciences endowment per student. And in fiscal year 2004, just...
...compare it with other recorded video, but I did view plenty of it on a 42-inch high-definition plasma TV. Not only were the colors vibrant and accurate, but the action was crisp and easy to watch.
