All universities, regardless of size, location, or tradition, must constantly prove their worth to a myriad of professional, educational, and institutional societies to keep their status as educators. Suggesting otherwise, as some of the posters have assumed was done, can be offputting, especially for alumni of large state schools.
Boiler Up.

I think I understand what you were trying to say, and it is noble, but I will not expand on it for fear of putting words in someone's mouth. Suffice it to say that students get out of college what they put in to it.

Effort = Education.
