What makes a university considered an Ivy League?
Group of eight universities in the NE U.S., high in academic and social prestige, that are members of an athletic conference for intercollegiate football dating to the 1870s. It consists of Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, and Cornell universities, the Univ. of Pennsylvania, and Dartmouth College. http://education.yahoo.com/search/be?lb=t and p=url:i/ivy_league http://www.ivyleaguesports.com/WhatIsIvy/history.asp [Jun 17 02 1:30 AM] elburcher writes: If founding dates were what determined what was Ivy League then Cornell would not be an Ivy League school (which it is). It was founded in Ithica, New York in 1865.
