> Uh, Jed, MIT is private. Or maybe you meant UMass? You are right. It is a 19th century "land grant" college, like Cornell. Technically private but a lot of it is tied in with the state. (Cornell has schools entirely funded by New York, and annual funding, and it offers reduced tuition for New York state residents -- or it used to,anyway.) So much of MIT is funded by the government I forgot that it is officially private. - Jed
