I'd heard of efforts to contain grade inflation at Princeton before I saw that OpinionJournal piece. While I was out there the president of the undergraduate student body made a statement once defending grade inflation, and I remember commenting that if somebody at the University of Chicago had said that, he might well be pushed in front of the next Metra train.
