I would consider that to be a statement as non-controversial as "Shakespeare
has the reputation as one of the greatest of all
writers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writer>in the English
language <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language> and in
Western<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_world>literaturerature, as well
as one of the world's pre-eminent dramatists" from our
Shakespeare article.
It is for example at #1 at the US News & World Report list of America's best
colleges see
http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/tier1/t1nat…
The Times Higher Education Supplement ranked it as the #1 university in the
world see
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,591-1343946,00.html
They could be cited in support of the statement and possibly should be but
the original statement about Harvard seems fair enough.

The last list I saw, the Chinese survey, went 1. Harvard 2. Cambridge,
12-1
bar these two. Or something.
Of course there shouldn't be POV in those articles, or unsourced
tendentious
assertions, any more than elsewhere. Do we have articles on 'prestige
surveys'?
