A Magazine That Backs up What I've Been Telling People

So, the Washington Monthly (or "the liberal Washington Monthly" as it was called in one article that linked to this information) has put out its own list of the top universities in the country. They're apparently kinda-sorta trying to compete with U.S. News and World Report's rankings, but they decided on different criteria. Their big categories are social mobility, research, and service. It's meant to be "a guide not just to what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country."

The upshot: guess who's number one with these "meaurements that matter"?

Oh, that's right. One Texas A&M University, that's who.
