Column: Joining the Ivy League
(04/18/03 4:00am)
For the last several years, I've heard severe griping from students about how Duke is becoming too serious and that leadership is hell bent on turning Duke into an Ivy League school. Most of the time I find that student complaints are on target. But I think that these claims of uber-seriousness on the part of Duke students are groundless. Duke hasn't become more serious. It has just become boring.
