Well... I would say that
the americans didn't really think
about MIT (except for one). In general intellectuality is a
very minor component of the elite, as opposed to the french
way of thinking about it where it figured in several forms
(philosophy, engineer, grandes ecoles, and Supaero and MIT).
For us it is mostly social and economic status.
