	Probably too much time . . . it turned into try all the Ivy League schools, with a couple extra thrown in. I went to one of the others, so that was easy, and I grew up next to the other one, so . . . yeah.

	I agree. Probably too much time. Otherwise, a good quiz. Maybe make it the 20 oldest?

	Funny to see a spelling mistake in a quiz about colleges. It's university, not universitie.

	How is there such a massive dropoff from William and Mary to Dartmouth? Didn't people notice the Ivy trend? It's not too subtle...

	If you are going to put the original names as the answers (with current names in parentheses), then you should accept original names for answers.

	Washington and Lee University was founded in 1749, University of Delaware in 1743, and Moravian College in 1742. All of which still exist today.

	Washington and Lee and Delaware were not post-secondary institutions until later. (not sure about Moravian)

	@johnlk: According to Wikipedia, Moravian didn't receive its state charter until 1863. That may not be a "definitive" date for the purposes of this quiz, but the ability to grant state-approved bachelor's degrees seems to be fairly important to me in being able to say that an institution is a college or university.

	Gee, I wonder why the College in the English Colony of Rhode Island & Providence Plantations changed its name.
