Thank you, John, for saving me the trouble of replying in detail to Larry's
misleading responses to the messages that Ben and I wrote.

Let me add that I am most happy that RPI is not an Ivy League school and
think it laughable to compare RPI to any such schools, including the ones
which you are insinuating are second tier.  Nothing against these schools at
all, but that wasn't what I was looking for when I went to college.  I had
enough of a high-pressure, general academic environment in high school, not
to want to continue that for another four years.  I was quite happy to go to
a college where the humanities requirements were quite limited and remain so
now.
