Of course some of it is pure English arrogance, but my favorite
example of how differently the Brits viewed an American degree was the
Rhodes scholarship program at Oxford. The Rhodes Scholar came over
with a bachelor's degree and four years of academic and athletic or
other success at a good or excellent American university. He joined a
class of Oxonians on their three-year courses. And he spent two years
getting the same degree they were working toward!
