Ivy League
A group of eight universities in the Northeastern United States that are regarded to be the best colleges in the country (or even the world). Coined by sports writer Caswell Adams in 1937 as a term for the then-powerful eastern football league, it originally included Army and Navy as well.
Since then, it is the aspiration of many high school students (and their parents) to get an "Ivy League Education"
