Er, they are "business orientated" in the same way that Oxford and
Cambridge are -- it's possible to treat them as respectable finishing
schools for upper-class men and women, but there's a lot more to the
school than that.

But they're also centers of research and advanced studies. The
Harvard architecture lost out to the von Neumann architecture
(designed at Princeton) for a lot of reasons, but it was a contender.
ENIAC was designed and built at the University of Pennsylvania.
Einstein and John Nash did their work at Princeton.

Anyone who isn't aware of what the Ivy League is, and who harbors the
misconception that they're "business orientated" schools is in no
position to be passing judgment on what the best academic circles are.
