So, one of the world's most prestigious school employs the brightest scholars, with private offices and regular international travel on the employer's dime to attend conferences, and they are essentially paid to spend their waking hours thinking of really difficult problems they'd love to solve.

They're never expected to worry about year-end donation drive to manage the school band's budget, finding out who vandalized all the bathrooms, or how to talk to Sally's parents after she missed school for three days. And they get to teach some of the best, brightest, most motivated students America produces.

Yeah, all they needed was a blackboard and chalk. Who needs more resources?

The point remains. A teacher and a blackboard are all that is really necessary to educate. Building a palace to house the classrooms does not help.
