Pop Quiz: Name All The Ivy League Schools

The other day I got into a discussion with a friend of mine about the Ivy League schools in the U.S. I knew a few of them but my knowledge was actually quite limited. So I did some research this evening and found this. I was interested to learn that the term "Ivy League" has athletic roots. I then set out to locate these schools with Google Earth, a magnificent piece of software that I've mentioned before. I've provided two different views here to give you a good idea of where the various schools are located in relation to each other. For reference purposes, know that Columbia is in New York City and Harvard is in Boston. The dates shown indicate what year the school was founded.
