...know, none of us lost anyone in last Wednesday’s violence. I say as far as I know because, after I e-mailed out the list of names Thursday morning, I only heard back from one person. No longer necessary, our little group disbanded again as quickly as it had come together. Nebraska didn’t even make the playoffs this year, so it looks like I’ll have to wait until August to see the group again. But for the time being, at least, Omaha...

...particularly through rankings—will fall flat. The qualities of a college include far more than statistics about retention rates, average SAT scores, and faculty-to-student ratios. The U.S. News ranking in particular encourages bad choices and an unhealthy focus on prestige and elitism. If the list is useful for anything at all, it would only be to pad the egos of those schools that end up high on the list or higher than they expected—not for simplifying the college search for confused high school students.Harvard should do all it can to contribute...
