This is an institution that rates ONLY "special" colleges of the 
conservative nature or ilk.  It does not look at other, truely top colleges 
in the US.

Itnae that like Dougie patting his-self on the back and saying "Well done"?

>Intercollegiate Studies Institute compiled the list. The institute is a

>"It's a wonderful honor and it's humbling," Atwood said. "We know we have

>This fall the college will enter its 13th year, whereas others on the list,

>"It does give external affirmation or confirmation of the quality of things
>we're doing here," Atwood said. "The national recognition of that is very
>important to us."

>In the 413-page book, the profile of NSA earned six pages that detail the

>It gave any incoming freshmen a fair warning of the intense reading
