	Little Ivies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Institutions identified as Little Ivies are usually old, small, exclusive, and academically competitive liberal arts colleges located in the northeastern United States.
		The colloquialism is meant to imply that Little Ivies share similarities with the universities of the Ivy League.
		It is sometimes synonymous with the "Little Three," Amherst, Wesleyan, and Williams.

	Indoor Ivy
		Ivies can be grown in hanging baskets, at the base of other houseplants and in pots of their own.
		Ivy topiaries are made by planting a small-leafed ivy cultivar at the base of a sphagnum moss- stuffed wire frame.
		Leaf shapes are ivy with typical flat leaves that have 5 lobes; heart-shaped which may also be triangular, with 3 lobes; fan shaped are triangular or have lobes pointing forward; bird’s foot with narrow lobes or willow-like leaves; and curly leaves are ruffled, rippled or wavy.

		ivy league or no, mine was the right choice for me. and it had nothing to do with the term "ivy league." i hope your college experiences were/will be as rich and rewarding in friends, opportunities, and memories for you.
		You basically go to Ivies not for the obvious reason of getting an education, but for all the superficial reasons: to be inspired and compete with other intelligent students, to form connections, to have the brand name...
		Besides an Ivy education tends to open the door at least, and let's not forget all those Ivy league idiots who get the benefit of doubt when applying to professional/graduate schools compared to the state schoolers who have to be the absolute cream of the crop to even survive the intial screening process.

	Ivy
		Ivy is a very hardy plant and can withstand the severest of winters and frost; they also suffer little from smoke or the polluted air of manufacturing towns.
		Ivy also serves as a reservoir for bacterial leaf scorch (Xylella fastidiosa), a plant pathogen that is harmful to native trees such as elms, oaks and maples.
		Ivy leaves were thought to prevent intoxication and the binding of the brow with ivy was seen as a counterbalance to the vine.

	Little Three - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Three is an unofficial athletic conference of three liberal arts colleges in New England.
		These colleges are all also members of New England Small College Athletic Conference, and all of these schools are commonly included in the group of schools known as the "Little Ivies."
		The "Little Three" is also a name given to three of the smaller film studios that still maintained a healthy production rate in the early 20th century, yet lacked a varying aspect of vertical integration.

	Trailing Foliage Plants
		Ivies There are many different types of vining ivies that grow well as indoor plants.
		Grape ivy grows at a moderate rate and does produce tendrils to support itself, but it can also be tied to a pole or cane to encourage more height.
		One warning: Swedish ivy, especially the variegated type, can exude a rather "interesting" aroma when the leaves are bruised or when it is trimmed and the sap can stain.

	True Ivies
		Ivy has been popular for hundreds of years and is thought to have been brought from its native Europe to America with the original settlers.
		Ivies are commonly used in topiaries since they can easily be trained to climb, twist and twine.
		To select a healthy ivy for indoors, look for plants that are full with a lot of foliage all along the stems.

	What are the 'hidden ivies' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		While creating artificial categories like "hidden ivies", "public ivies", or "colleges that change lives" may, in fact, be a ploy to sell books, I think these books DO serve the purpose of publicizing excellent colleges that don't happen to be in the US News top ten.
		The ivy league is an original designation with a standard meaning, plays on that are trying to capitalize on it for no reason other than to promote themselves.
		The Little Ivies are: Amherst, Boudoin [sic], Hamilton, Haverford, Middlebury, Swarthmore, Trinity, Tufts, Wesleyan of Connecticut, and Williams.

		For example, Ground Ivy is one name for Creeping Charlie or Gill- over-the-ground, a pesky weed that spreads by means of long stems or "runners" that take root at intervals.
		Kenilworth Ivy, used in homes and greenhouses, is another crawling plant with weak stems that root freely at their joints.
		German Ivy, also used in hanging gardens because of its long twining stems, has composite flowers and is related to such plants as burdock and Canada thistle.

		For the most part, I can look around and say that economically speaking I fared better than my ivy league colleagues who made it to the same places, but were saddled with tons of debt.
		You are a nonwhite (probably fl) female, this, of course, means that you are considered underprivaleged and as soon as your application fell in the hands of the Ivy admissions' heart-bleeders, violins began to play and tears began to stream.
		You probably wrote about how tough it was for you, a "nonwhite female", to get respect in a white male dominated world and how agonizingly difficult it was for you to go on with your everyday life in a racist America.

		The only Ivy campus where fl professors accounted for more than 3 percent of the tenured faculty in 2003 was Brown, which had 17 fl professors with tenure, or 4 percent of its tenured faculty.
		There was also little change in the tenure-track positions, the entry-level jobs that give professors a chance to earn permanent positions.
		Hispanic professors accounted for 1 percent of tenured professors in the Ivies in both 1993 and 2003, a period in which tenured positions grew by 9 percent, to nearly 6,000 jobs.

		Reminiscing about my oh so cool private school days, there were a group of colleges called 'little ivies' since they were so small yet highly selective (amherst, williams and wesleyan).
		The term Ivy Colleges is a few years older, first appearing in the Herald-Tribune in 1933 by sportswriter S. Woodward.

	"Entering the Elite"
		The authors focus on highly selective colleges (the Ivies, "little Ivies," et cetera) and the programs offering notification of admission by December 15 of the senior year (for those who apply by November 1), rather than on the "regular" date, April 1.
		Early admission comes in two forms: binding "Early Decision" programs that require admitted students to attend (and often ask parents and high-school counselors to sign commitments to that effect); and non-binding "Early Action" that allows admitted students to apply elsewhere and asks for a response by May 1, the standard reply date.
		Pre-publication comment about The Early Admissions Game has centered on its "...clear and consistent finding: applying early provides an advantage in admissions decisions that is approximately equal to the effect of an increase of 100 points in SAT score." On its face, this is valuable information for prospective applicants to many binding early-decision colleges.

		Public universities train and send more fl premeds to medical schools than the Ivies, the "little Ivies " and the C & B (the 43 or so schools included in the Bok and Bowen study) and "selective " private schools put together.

		You see art the judge ordered the ivy league and about 40 other private schools to stop having their admissions officers meet every for the past 15-20 years from haggling with each other about how much financial aid should be awarded to admitted students..e.g.
		there are letters of alumni from ivy league schools to magazines like the new york magazine who document these practices....one letter said they had to pry open their grandmother's trust fund to bribe an ivy league school to get their daughter admitted.
		After all an alumni donation is nothing but a bribe in the context of ivy league admissions.I will stop at this point and continue later.

		Legacy admission to prep schools and to large universities in Ivy League or small liberal arts colleges such as the "Little Ivies" taught habit and attitude and formed connections which carried over to the influential spheres of finance, culture, and politics.
		They are still upper middle to upper class educated Protestants, members of high society, with prep school and Ivy League educations.
		In general, the American protestant heartland is now located in the Midwest and South, and as protestants from these regions achieve national prominence, they reflect an entirely different family of the species of WASP than once existed on the Eastern Seaboard.

		The eight Ivy League Schools are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Yale and U Penn. In addition, there are little Ivies such as Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore, Middlebury, Wesleyan, Haverford, and Wellesley.
		Jews were 21 percent of the Ivy League vs. 1.5 percent of the college-age population (14 times overrepresentation) and the figure is higher at the graduate level (at Yale, for example, 60 percent of graduate students are Jewish - an astonishing figure).
		Nevertheless, Congress ought to demand that the Department of Education require all Ivy League schools to report annually on the religious and ethnic composition of their faculties and student bodies, and, if Unz's percentages hold, should be asked what they are doing to end this discrimination.

		They represented 20 percent of all tenured Ivy faculty in 2003, up from 14 percent in 1993.

	Princeton - News - Clippings Oct 28 to Nov 11 1998
		Last month, a faculty group studying the Ivy League school's admissions released a report recommending that 125 to 150 students be added to each class.
		These are people, he says, who can no longer recall the time when they were in school and their parents judged the value of their educations by little more than how much homework they were assigned each night.
		The activity reflects good marketing practices: All are competing for a generation of top students with little patience for the dingy bedrooms and airless lecture halls that satisfied their parents.

		As fine as the 1,500-student college is reputed to be, to Lin it didn't quite have the luster of an Ivy League school.
		So rather than opting for a school considered one of the "little Ivies," Christine is almost certain she'll attend the University of Connecticut, a solid state school that's larger, nearer to major cities, and packed with a wider variety of people.
