Does anyone have access to the 1991 paper that claimed that public universities teach just as well as the private ones?

Admittedly it's old (1991) but still...

I am wondering whether more A's are given out at selective schools simply because the people attending them are averagely brighter and therefore more likely to master the material not that that is a study that would ever get funded - the equivalent of blasphemy in the side the Looking Glass that we all find ourselves at today.
