And here we go again, yet another set of rankings!

Times Higher Education released its World Reputation Rankings, which its website explains "is based on nothing more than subjective judgement," albeit the judgement of "published, senior academics."

Harvard placed first in these reputation rankings with a perfect score of 100.0, just as it did in both 2012 and 2011, followed by neighboring Massachusetts Institute of Technology in second and the University of Cambridge in third. Princeton was the second-highest ranked Ivy League school, in seventh place with a "reputation score" of 36.2, while Yale rounded out the top ten with a score of 32.8.

Unfortunately, universities on the West Coast and overseas edged us out in the Times Higher Education's 2012-13 World University Rankings, where Harvard placed fourth with a score of 93.6 out of 100, behind the California Institute of Technology, Stanford, and Oxford. That's a slide from 2011-12's second place and 2010-11's first.

Oh, well. At least we have a good reputation!
