I don't know quite how to answer that.

The glory that we are looking for really comes from certain highly selective institutions.

For instance, MIT is not a truly glorious university because it's not the right kind of glory. It's kind of technical, which is the bad kind of glory.

There are also the universities that are kind of glorious, but don't quite make the list because they are not in the northeast, such as Duke and Stanford.
