That's why rich people in Europe send their kids to the U.S. for college.
Oxford and Cambridge still come in top 10 worldwide in any ranking system I've seen. In terms of brand name, they still have universal name recognition among the general public.
Relative to the rest of the world, the US certainly has done much better over the past 50 years. The US certainly dominates top universities though.
There are only a handful of US schools (Harvard, MIT, Stanford) that I'd choose over Oxford for example in terms of worldwide name recognition.

Yes, but I was using them as examples of European in general back in the 50s. Other top schools from England, France, Italy, etc were ranked in the 1950s. They've gone downhill.
Lots of govt regulation is blamed. U.S. colleges have more autonomy.
They also have more specialization in majors. Like U. Chicago is very elite if your degree is Economics.
LSU is not an elite school at all. But they have one of the top 3 agriculture schools in America. So does U. of Michigan.
