The Ivy League

Much more than a grouping of eight colleges and universities, the Ivy LeagueÂ—with its hallowed halls, private clubs, and grassy quadranglesÂ—is the consummate reward of the American Dream. Captured in countless novels, films, and television shows, and mentioned in everyday conversations around the globe, these centuries-old institutions stand proudly as universal symbols of one of Americaâ€™s greatest strengthsÂ—its world-renowned education system. Representing the apex of academic achievement, the Ivy League is also a gateway to the socially powerful and elite, making it the wish of all parents for their children. But thatâ€™s only the beginning. Taking a close-up look at each of these campuses, Harvard alumnus Daniel Cappello illustrates the unique spirit of each school and determines what sets them apartÂ—from the presidents theyâ€™ve trained to the silver-screen characters theyâ€™ve inspired; from the size of their endowments to the number of celebrities they enroll; from dominant political stances to athletic rivalries, architectural styles, and popular fashion.
