Oxford and Cambridge. Remember that in the U. S. , there are excellent universities outside the Ivy League, such as Stanford or MIT; so I propose we respectfully omit St. Andrews, UCL, and LSE. Also, the eight Ivies exist in a country that is home to about 4,000 colleges and universities, so the U. K. might content itself proportionately with two Ivies. I look forward to the discussion and assure you that I too find Ivy-League worship tedious. ".
