Its all about scale, people. Harvard would be 'well known'. Everyone knows Harvard the world over with little exceptions.

Harvey Mudd? One of the best schools in the country, probably one of the top 100 hundred in the world. I would wouldn't say its well known. However, its reasonably known within the community of grads it puts out: Engineering, Science, Computer Science. Hence...reasonably well-known.

Like a litmus test of sorts, maybe.

They're not linguistically congruent. I swear!

It's nearly 1,000 years old. It's extremely well known, regardless of the field or context.

It has 680 years on your country, young pup :)
