  • Service Nothing New to ND Students SMC Retains Top Five Status In
    Friday, September 24, 1993 • Vol. XXVI No. 20 THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER SERVING NOTRE DAME AND SAINT MARY'S ND cracks top 25 Service nothing new to ND students with alumni help By MICHAEL O'HARA News Writer After a five year absence from the top 25 of U.S. News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges" survey, Notre Dame has climbed back into a tie for 25th place, partially because of a new formula which takes into account alumni satisfaction. The new formula, which ranked Notre Dame third out of the 204 major universities in alumni satisfaction, was an important factor in Notre Dame's jump in the rankings, according to Dennis Moore, director of Public Relations and Information. "If it [alumni satisfaction] had been in last year's poll the rankings would have been dif­ ferent," said Charles Lennon, Alumni Association Executive Director, "Now that it is included I am pleased with how it helps our ranking." "It shows the incredible bond the alumni has with the University. It says something for the quality of their education and the quality of their lives," Provost Timothy O'Meara said. "I am pleased we are in the Top 25. It shows we are doing things well. I feel it is a reflection of the fact that measuring instruments have changed," O'Meara said. Notre Dame reached it's highest rank of 18th in 1988. The following year it fell to 23rd then dropped out of the rankings in 1990. This year, Notre Dame tied for 25th place with Emory University in Atlanta.
