We are the Dartmouth of the West. Not as good as BYU, the Harvard-Yale-Stanford-Notre Dame of the West, but still Ivy League. Of the West.

I didn't see the University of South Alabama on there.

No, but you must be proud that the University of Alberta snuck it's way onto the list.

The University of Heidelberg is the oldest university in Germany. The city was in my mission and it was loaded with hotties 1.

Heidelberg and Wiesbaden were the two largest cities in Germany that weren't completely destroyed in WWII. I'm not exactly sure why 2, but supposedly the allies wanted to have a couple towns with some intact infrastructure as they headed towards Berlin.

1. Served there too ... lived in Nussloch. Were you in the Munich or Frankfurt mission? I had it good ... two US Servicemen's wards, and we were forbidden from teaching the locals, who belonged to a stake in the Frankfurt boundaries. Had a car as well.

2. The prevailing rumor I heard from Yanks there was that Eisenhower visited Heidelberg when he was younger, or on his honeymoon. He found the city so beautiful that he threatened to court martial anyone on the spot for bombing it. Of course, the same was said about Rothenburg as well. Mark Twain's writings on the city also have been rumored to the preservation of the city. Whatever the reason, it was a good one -- Heidelberg was easily the highlight of my mission, and I lived/visited some great cities while there.

There weren't enough servicemen in Heidelberg anymore when I was there to justify a Heidelberg ward. There was still a hospital in Heidelberg because I went there with a mission companion of mine who was at the Naval Academy before the mission and needed a physical to get reinstated.

I was actually in Mannheim and I was in the serviceman's ward when I was there. I believe anyone still remaining in Heidelberg went to the Mannheim ward, and I don't think there were too many of them because I don't recall meeting with any Americans in Heidelberg besides the time I went to the hospital.

I would be surprised if that Eisenhower rumor is true. Heidelberg was not an industrial center but it's also close to the area where the Neckar and Rhine meet so it would be advantageous to keep it intact as you were moving toward Berlin.
