  2. "Bowdoin College in Maine and Vassar College in upstate New York are roughly the same size. They compete for the same students. Both have long traditions of academic excellence. But one of those schools is trying hard to close the gap between rich and poor in American society—and paying a high price for its effort. The other is making that problem worse—and reaping rewards as a result."

    You might be able to guess what the difference is....the Michellin rated chief in the cafe.

    I quite like enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell's podcast "Food fight" on this exact topic.

  3. I went to a conference at Bowdoin, stayed in a dorm, and ate in the dining hall. To the best of my memory (it was a while ago, so memory may be hazy and/or information out of date), the food was decent but not exceptional.

  4. Um, this is like rating scientific accuracy of TV news stories. The standard is SO low, does this mean anything?
