Some people will do anything to sink the competition, won’t they?
I think Perdue probably had a competitive edge due to being a public institution. The private universities don’t quite have the same backing from taxpayers.
I think I prefer the idea of private universities, where there is no taxpayer input at all. It seems their education may be more to the point and effective. But, then there is Harvard and Yale as a contrary view.
I think the landgrant universities were intended to be self-sufficient, after being given a large tract of land to manage. That's at least what I've heard, but obviously it hasn't worked out that way and they're all perpetually on the dole.

I think that is why there are so many Morrell halls on the university campuses.
Just as a different sort of question, have you noticed that some of the much older buildings on campuses are definitely a different kind of architecture, built with a different kind of material. The older ones seem to have a lot more red brick and stone than the newer buildings.

Depends how old they are. A lot of post-war universities have cheap ugly original buildings and nicer modern buildings.
The older universities, though, do generally have beautiful original architecture and more sterile newer construction.
