Per faculty member, the winner would be Vanderbilt. They do some incredibly important research.

Vandy's family descendants created Gloria Vanderbilt jeans.

Vandy does some great things, no question, but Aggs do more and better! To be fair Vandy has a much higher ratio of quality impact-full "four star" research to low value research than A&M, and Vandy has produced some incredible things. However A&M arguably leads the world in quality research and development. Through shear volume and some truly revolutionary discoveries we eaily lead the SEC, & potentially America. Oh yeah, over two billion (2,000,000,000!) people alive today owe there existence to improvements in nutritional development and agriculture developed in College Station.

The new Texas A&M president, Michael Young, is going to substantially increase A&M's research footprint. Seattle is a tremendous research area because of all the Microsoft billionaires/millionaires (Bill Gates, Paul Allen, etc.) and I'm sure Young knows how to work the system.

Are you talking about Norman Borlaug's Green Revolution? He did that before he was a member of our faculty.

U of Washington is way up on the list.
