As part of its recent package of stories about the college rankings game (and as reported on this blog a few weeks back) , The Chronicle of Higher Education offers a table showing how the highest-ranking universities and liberal arts colleges have fared over the past 25 years.

But for the rest of us, it doesn’t do a lot of good.
