IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITIES

Yale University

the Ivy League is a specific group of eight academic institutions. These schools are Brown, Columbia,
Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Yale.

The league was formed in the 1940s by the presidents of the eight schools to foster intercollegiate
football competition "in such a way as to maintain the values of the game, while keeping it in fitting
proportion to the main purposes of academic life."

At first, each school's football team was supposed to play every other school's team at least once
every five years. In the 1950s, this arrangement was replaced by a yearly round-robin schedule, and
expanded to include other sports. Today, the Ivy League is part of the NCAA, competing nationwide in
football, baseball, basketball, and other athletics.

According to a story on the Ivy League's official web site, the "Ivy" part of Ivy League is a reference
to the plants that climb all over many of the old campus buildings at each school. The term was
inspired by a sarcastic comment from a sports writer assigned to cover a Columbia-Pennsylvania
football game. When he received his assignment, he grumbled about "watching the ivy grow." Another
reporter overheard the comment and dubbed the prestigious group of schools "the Ivy League."

The characteristics of Ivy League schools include relatively small undergraduate populations, large
endowments, prestigious academic reputations, and consistent ranking among the top 15 U.S.
universities. Several other universities that are considered in the same "class" as Ivy League schools
are Stanford and the University of North Carolina .

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) really takes the prize. A leading
research institution, the school is typically granted more patents annually than any
other university, and about 60 people associated with MIT are Nobel Prize recipients.
Blending that science and engineering acumen with a top business program (including
the Sloan School of Management), MIT graduates have started more than 4,000
companies -- Campbell Soup, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel to name just a few. MIT has
more than 10,000 students, about 60% of whom attend graduate school. The faculty of
the 34 academic departments includes more than 1,000 professors. Founded in 1865,
MIT is privately endowed.

Sponsoring conference championships in 33 men's and women's sports, and

averaging more than 35 varsity teams at each school, the Ivy League provides
intercollegiate athletic opportunities for more men and women than any other
conference in the country. All eight Ivy schools are among the "top 20" of NCAA
Division I schools in number of sports offered for both men and women.

The most diverse intercollegiate competition in the country for both men and
women is also among the best. In recent years, the Ivy League has been
synonymous with national excellence in men's and women's soccer, lacrosse,
rowing, fencing and squash, and individual Ivy athletes have regularly excelled as
well in football, track and field, wrestling and swimming. Ivy teams have enjoyed
significant success in the opening rounds of the NCAA Division I basketball
championships.

This successful competition in Division I national athletics is achieved by

approaching athletics as a key part of the student's regular undergraduate
experience: with rigorous academic standards, the nation's highest four-year
graduation rates (the same as those for non-athletes), and without athletics
scholarships. Ivy athletic programs receive multi-million-dollar institutional
support as part of each institution’s overall academic programs, independent of
win-loss or competitive records and together with extensive programs of
intramural and recreational athletics.

Since 2000 alone, the Ivy League...

• Produced 47 NCAA individual/event champions in fencing, women’s swimming

and diving, women’s rowing, men’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track and
field, women’s indoor track and field, women’s outdoor track and field and
wrestling while earning 11 NCAA team championships in fencing, men’s lacrosse,
women’s lacrosse and women’s rowing. The League has also captured national
champions in the non-NCAA sports of men’s squash and men’s rowing. All eight
Ivy League schools have had at least one NCAA champion – individual or team –
during this span.

• Amassed nearly 100 All-Americans each year.

• Averaged more than a dozen Academic All-Americans each year, including an

all-time high of 18 in 2006-07, for a total of 136 student-athletes honored.

• Had 204 competitors at the five Olympic Games (2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and
2008). Those 204 athletes collected 81 medals, including 28 gold. At the 2008
Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, the League boasted 42 athletes who took
home 14 medals (five gold, seven silver and two bronze).

• Hosted the first ESPN College GameDay football show to draw more than 1.5
million households (November 16, 2002, Harvard-Penn at Franklin Field).

• Boasts numerous athletes in the professional ranks including Major League

Baseball (Princeton’s Chris Young, 2007 National League All-Star with the San
Diego Padres), Major League Lacrosse (Princeton’s Ryan Boyle and Matt Striebel,
three-time champions with the Philadelphia Barrage), the National Football
League (Brown’s Sean Morey of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Harvard’s Isaiah
Kacyvenski of the Seattle Seahawks, team captains for Super Bowl XL; Cornell’s
Kevin Boothe, Brown’s Zak DeOssie and Penn’s Jim Finn, Super Bowl XLII
champions with the New York Giants; and Brown’s DeOssie and Morey, 2009 Pro
Bowl selections), the National Hockey League (Harvard’s Craig Adams, 2006
Stanley Cup champion with the Carolina Hurricanes and 2009 Stanley Cup
champion with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Princeton’s George Parros, 2007
Stanley Cup champion with the Anaheim Ducks), and the Women’s United Soccer
Association (Dartmouth’s Kristin Luckenbill, 2002 Founders Cup champion with
the Carolina Courage, now playing for Women’s Professional Soccer's Boston
Breakers).

• Became the first conference to sweep the four major NCAA Honors in the same
year (2006) — Columbia’s Robert Kraft claiming the Theodore Roosevelt Award;
Princeton’s John Doar the Inspirational Award; Yale’s Susan Wellington a Silver
Anniversary Award; and Brown’s Nick Hartigan a Top VIII Award.

• Became the second conference with three of the six NCAA Silver Anniversary
Award winners in the same year (2007) — Dartmouth's Gail Koziara Boudreaux,
Brown's Steve Jordan and Yale's Patricia Melton.

• Posted far and away the best record in Division I, across all sports and
conferences, in the first three annual compilations (2007-09) of the NCAA's
Academic Progress Rate.

The Boston and Cambridge Environment

MIT is in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on the north bank of the Charles

River, facing the city of Boston. The city of Cambridge, well known as
the residence of MIT and Harvard, is home to many students and
professionals. More than one-fourth of its residents are students, and
one out of every six jobs is in higher education.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) really takes the prize. A leading
research institution, the school is typically granted more patents annually than any
other university, and about 60 people associated with MIT are Nobel Prize recipients.
Blending that science and engineering acumen with a top business program (including
the Sloan School of Management), MIT graduates have started more than 4,000
companies -- Campbell Soup, Hewlett-Packard, and Intel to name just a few. MIT has
more than 10,000 students, about 60% of whom attend graduate school. The faculty of
the 34 academic departments includes more than 1,000 professors. Founded in 1865,

 6

Cambridge is a city of 13 neighborhoods, ranging from approximately

700 to 15,000 residents. Only five cities in the United States with a
population over 75,000 are more densely populated. The city's diverse
ethnicity is reflected in its black, Hispanic, Asian, American Indian, and
white residents.

Within a two-mile radius of MIT are Boston's Museum of Science and

Museum of Fine Arts, the Gardner Museum, the New England
Conservatory of Music, Symphony Hall, the New England Aquarium, and
the Boston Public Library, as well as Fenway Park and TD Banknorth
Garden for professional baseball, basketball, and concerts. Students can
also travel easily to Boston's theater district, where Broadway plays are
previewed and local productions are staged.

Among the cultural organizations enriching life in the area are the
Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Pops, the Boston Ballet
Company, the Opera Company of Boston, the Boston Center for the Arts,
Boston University's Huntington Theatre Company, the Loeb Drama
Center, and the American Repertory Theatre.

MIT is one of more than 50 schools located in the Boston area, including
Boston College, Boston University, Brandeis University, Harvard
University, Lesley University, Northeastern University, Simmons
College, Tufts University, Wellesley College, and many specialized
professional art and music schools. The concentration of academic,
cultural, and intellectual activity in this area is one of the most
significant in the country.

An hour or two away from MIT by car are the mountains of Vermont and
New Hampshire, the ocean beaches of Cape Cod, the lakes and rivers of
Maine, the small clusters of fishing towns along the New England coast,
and many places of historical interest in Massachusetts alone—Salem,
Sturbridge, Lexington, Concord, and Plymouth. With its varied
landscapes and four distinct seasons, New England offers unlimited
possibilities for recreation—skiing, mountain climbing, hiking, sailing,
canoeing, kayaking, swimming, and camping.
