The Ivy League
常春藤联盟

The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group. The term also has connotations of academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism. The term became official, especially in sports terminology. The use of the phrase is no longer limited to athletics, and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to the nation's oldest schools.
