It is vast, extensive, and far beyond anything Cal Tech could ever hope to replicate. That being said, I have to begrudingly note that George Kimball's post, above, is correct in that MIT is larger than Cal Tech, making the Nobel Prize issue a wash. Still, MIT should have won the pank/hack section, thus continuing MIT as champion. Beyond that, MIT gets points for the breadth and depth of its offerings from business to architecture to political science to philosophy while still edging out Cal Tech in engineering, math, and the sciences.

CIT has about 2100 students and 300 faculty

MIT has about 10,400 students and 1000 faculty.

So MIT, depending on how one counts, is 3 to 5 times as large as CIT, but has only double the number of Nobel Prizes.

Q.E.D.
