"We're the only school in the Mid-American Conference competing at this level, and within the state, the only other school doing as well as we are is Ohio State," says Brown, whose office was created four years ago with the help of a $25,000 grant from the 1804 Fund. "These awards are not just for the Ivy Leagues anymore. It comes down to access for these scholarships, and students at state schools across the country are getting them."

And Bowling Green a faux version of Miami

Who wants to be a bird brain?

Jesus! Whoever said that is *almost* as stupid and ill-informed as you are.

Quote:Miami is one of only eight universities nationally - and one of only two public universities - to produce a Rhodes Scholar, a Truman Scholar, and a Goldwater Scholar in the 2001-2002 academic year. The other schools in this select group are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, Stanford, Syracuse, and the University of Washington.

Then check, <a href='http://www.rhodesscholar.org/' target='_blank'>this link</a>, and report back to me on who the most recent Ohio public university student to receive a Rhodes was.

Finally, take a look at <a href='http://www.truman.gov/index.cfm?TheViewID=290' target='_blank'>this link</a> from the Truman Scholarship Foundation.

I'll let one of our science geeks handle the Goldwaters and Fulbrights.

Good for you, but the Ohio quote was refering to numbers of top awards, brainiac. Hence why big OSU is the only other school doing the sheer volume in-state.

So, re-read the article and tell what number it supports. I did and came up with a total of two.

FWIW, I take this one very personally.

Possibly the next edition of this story will have some numbers for you.

Brown's dedication -- and that of Beth Clodfelter, the University's U.S. Fulbright Program adviser -- paid off in a high-profile way this year when Ohio University students received 14 nationally and internationally competitive awards, including six Fulbrights.
