ILast week college acceptance and rejection letters went out to thousands of prospective college students. Many of those students had dreamed of being accepted to an Ivy League school their whole life. Many students last week were terribly disappointed.  The original Ivy League schools are Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, founded 1764. Brown’s total student enrollment is 7,595; nine percent of whom are international; Yale University, New Haven, CT., founded 1701. Yale’s total student enrollment is 11,359; Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, founded 1865. Cornell’s total student enrollment is 22,740; University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, founded 1749 as the Academy of Philadelphia. Penn’s total student enrollment is 23,305; Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire, founded 1769. Dartmouth’s total student enrollment is 5,664; Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey, founded in 1746; Princeton’s total student enrollment is 4,676; Columbia University, New York, New York; founded 1754. Columbia’s total student enrollment is 23,650 and Harvard University, Cambridge, Ma; founded 1636. Harvard’s total student enrollment is 18,000. These original Ivy League schools typically enrolled men only. Beginning in the 1800s, forward thinking individuals decided to bring educational opportunities that would equal those offered at the all male Ivy League schools. Formally organized as Sister Ivies in 1927, the Seven Sister schools became the equivalent of the male Ivies and thus became the Sister Ivies.
