UNH Gains New Respect

By Doug MacPherson on Wednesday, August 27, 2003.

Last week was a pretty good week for the University of New Hampshire.
The federal government formally recognized the school�s excellence in marine research. The publisher of an influential guide to colleges announced it no longer recognized U-N-H as a �party school.� �Welcome� signs went up all over campus, to mark the arrival of what school officials say is one of the strongest freshman classes ever.
In many respects, The University of New Hampshire appears poised to take its place among the best research universities in the nation.
But the folks back home don�t seem all that impressed.
