Clan and District tartan history

[beerbecue]

So while the effort of C & D students at Yale, Harvard and other schools should rightly be derided, please do not then assume that the works of other students must also have been held to a low standard. Instead, the reality is that there are really two systems at work. One grading system covers the intellectually challenged descendents of the elite, and the other covers the academically superb students whose presence was caused by their talent, intelligence and merit.

I believe that this occurs at several institutions. The fact is that you can receive an excellent education, and a respectable degree, at locations other than Harvard or Yale - which is the original point I was trying to make.... just not as well as I would have liked...

From my experience with academics in the Midwest and the Southeast, I have found that there are an overabundance of C's, and often too many B's in the University system in general, but I have yet to see that with A's...

While I have never attended an Ivy League school (although I now have had much experience with Cornell), my land-grant alma mater offered an excellent education, and my original comment was in reference to the deprecating comment made by Cajunscot concerning his land-grant alma mater..... Of which we are in agreement as per your post directly following his on this matter......

Whew....

Now, about those district tartans.......
