The school has only 251 faculty members, 812 undergraduates and 851 graduate stu dents, making it roughly one-fifth the size of friendly rival M.I.T.

Seventeen of its faculty and alumni have received Nobel prizes; two weeks ago, Alumnus Robert Wilson, now a researcher at Bell Labs, joined this elite roster by sharing...
