That's an assertion, not evidence. You should have realised by now that 
you aren't any kind of reliable witness, and can inf act be relied on to 
pick the most fatuous lying propaganda around.

Boast? It was an eventful period, but there wasn't a lot of glory around.

Melbourne University. The "Ivy League" is a collection of eight American 
private universities

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League

So neither Sydney nor Melbourne is an Ivy League joint.

https://www.usnews.com/education/best-global-universities/university-of-melbourne-501796

puts Melbourne at 27th on the international pecking order, which doesn't 
say a thing about the education I got there from 1960 to 1969. The 
chemistry department where I got my Ph.D. didn't hire anybody who hadn't 
graduated from there for the next thirty years, which doesn't suggest 
that they were up to much. The first hire from outside that stayed was a 
guy I'd written a paper with, and the new professor of Inorganic 
Chemistry, hired a year or so later, was a guy who had been in my 
primary school class at Burnie, Tasmania, who used to swap "top of the 
boys" with me on a pretty regular basis all the way through.

You do like to see the world in terms of pecking orders - anything more 
informative overloads your tiny brain.
