On my way home from work a local radio station was quoting a British newspaper (London Times?) that they had completed a study and a ranking of the top 200 universities in the world. They had apparently ranked Harvard first, but Oxford some where behind U. Cal at Berkely and a couple of others. They stated that there was only one French and one German university on the entire list, but quite a number of US state universities, some from Oz and a few Asian schools. Can anybody from Great Britain verify this, and provide a list? It would be a hoot if old Europe is falling behind, while the New World, the Third World, the US, and those they dispise, pull ahead in, of all things, Academia and Education. Also if you can, include the methodology, and the statistical tests of significance, if they are included. Thanks in advance.
