I already know but I'm curious to see what other kids think since I've been told different things from so many kids. Please name which schools you believe comprise the ivy league (if you honestly don't know, please don't google it; just take a guess)

The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group. The term also has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism.



The schools are:



Brown University

Providence, Rhode Island (location)

Bears (mascot)

In Deo Speramus (In God We Hope) [motto]

1764 (year founded)



Columbia University

New York City, New York (location)

Lions (mascot)

In lumine Tuo videbimus lumen (In Thy light shall we see the light) [moto]

1754 (year founded)



Cornell University

Ithaca, New York (location)

Big Red (mascot)

I would found an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.

1865 (year founded)



Dartmouth College

Hanover, New Hampshire (location)

Big Green (mascot)

Vox clamantis in deserto (A voice crying in the wilderness, The voice of one crying in the wilderness) [motto]

1769 (year founded)



Harvard University

Cambridge, Massachusetts (location)

Crimson (mascot)

Veritas (Truth) [motto]

1636 (year founded)



Princeton University

Princeton, New Jersey (location)

Tigers (mascot)

Dei sub numine viget (Under God's power she flourishes) [motto]

1746 (year founded)



University of Pennsylvania

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (location)

Quakers (mascot)

Leges sine moribus vanae (Laws without morals are useless) [motto]

1740 (year founded)



Yale University

New Haven, Connecticut (location)

Bulldogs (mascot)

אורים ותומים Lux et veritas (Light and truth) [motto]

1701 (year founded)



Prior to the formation of the Ivy League in 1954, the Naval Academy, West Point, The College of William and Mary and Rutgers were also considered to be "Ivy League."

Some or all of the following: Harvard, Yale, Brown, Princeton, Dartmouth, Penn, Cornell, Columbia There are seven or eight as I recall, not sure which. Some or all were originally all male, and the "seven sisters" (Radclifffe, Mt. Holyoke, etc.) were the female counterparts.
