According to Wikipedia:
"In 1861, a geologist named William Barton Rogers, after failing to secure a faculty appointment at Harvard, founded another technical school: MIT."
Imagine a world where Harvard hires Rogers and MIT is never founded.
Would Caltech see more students? Would technology be a little behind OTL because MIT students who normally would not have gotten into Harvard would not have been able attend a world-class institution? Would the development of radar in Building 20 at MIT still get off the ground or would it be shelved by Harvard's faculty in favor of some project which did not involve engineering?
