The Times (of London) Higher Education Survey came out on November 5,
2004, and NU is ranked number 73 in the world.

We're 1 spot behind the University of California at Santa Barbara.  We're
49 spots behind the University of California at San Diego.  USC, I'm happy
to note, is 180th.

We're 7 spots behind Wisconsin, 14 spots behind Purdue, 38 spots behind
Illinois, 42 spots behind Michigan, and 60 spots behind Chicago.

Here's the Big Ten, from highest to lowest:

13: University of Chicago ("Chicago University")
31: University of Michigan ("Michigan University")
35: University of Illinois ("Illinois University")
59: Purdue University
66: University of Wisconsin ("Wisconsin University")
73: Northwestern University
82: University of Minnesota ("Minnesota University")
106: University of Iowa ("Iowa University")
116: Michigan State University
130: Penn State University
174: Indiana University

(Unsuprisingly) Not in Top 200: (the) Ohio State University
(Suprisingly, but satisfyingly) Not in Top 200: Notre Dame

The THES inexplicably put University of Texas at 15, Texas A&M at 105, and
Rice at 146, in a bizarre shakeup of the state of Texas.

Inexplicable given the THES' focus on including half the schools in the
California system is the exclusion of academic heavyweights Texas A&M
International University at Laredo, the University of Texas at El Paso,
and the Southwest Texas State Teacher's College.

Go Cats, beat the Cavaliers,
