Best 351 College Rankings: How widely used is beer? (Princeton Review)#18.) Colgate University
The tale is told, probably apocryphal, of a similar Playboy Magazine ranking of schools in the '70s, wherein there was a footnote stating that Colgate and Dartmouth weren't ranked because it wasn't fair to put professionals in with the amateurs. It is more reliably reported that after a mistimed visit to Hamilton, NY, Walter Cronkite said that there were two places on earth he didn't want his daughter to be, the DMZ in Viet Nam and Colgate during Spring Party Weekend.
