It's for lack of research, distinguished professors, facilities... certainly not the quality of students. Graduating from St. Stephen's nearly 30 years ago I can say that the average student there was pretty damn smart and really hard working.
The article is spot on in many respects, except for the reference to finding only one applicant to Brown that he really enthused over. That is his experience, but in mine I can assure you that there were a heck of a lot of students most top universities in the US would compete over. In my time the principal and other staff were far more liberal - there seems to have been a sad regression judging from the position of the present principal.
