The MIT Building is amazing. I'm really excited by that.
My school built this monstrosity on campus.
It goes with none of the gothic architecture there.
Anyway, the school was started by the Rockefellers and is known for having the most Nobel Laureates (75), essentially developing modern economics, Indiana Jones was based on our school, Carbon dating developed here, we won the first Heisman trophy, and Nobel Laureate Enrico Fermi and his colleagues conducted the first controlled, self-sustaining, nuclear chain reaction on Dec. 2, 1942, and initiated the modern nuclear age (the reaction was right under our football bleachers).
We also are the birthspring for the neo-conservative movement with Abram Shulsky and Paul Wolfowitz earning their doctorates under Leo Strauss and being exposed to Allan Bloom and Albert Wohlstetter. George Schultz was the dean at our business school. Ahmed Chalabi (top Pentagon sponsored ruler for Iraq) studied math there. John Ashcroft went to law school here. Leon Kass heads the President's Council on Bioethics and is staunchly against stem cell research. Well you get the picture. I'm sure there were liberal minds of great here as well, but I hated them.
