Harvey Mudd College was named one of 25 elite “New Ivies,” according to a Kaplan/Newsweek "How to Get into College Guide." Along with Pomona College, also a member of the Claremont Colleges Consortium, HMC and the "New Ivies" were featured in a segment of NBC's Today Show. That said, we lament the passing of the old ivies.
