St. Olaf vs. Cambridge

I found this post about the choral music of Christmas from a "non-music" blog. The author compares and contrasts the different televised choral presentations of St. Olaf and Cambridge and ends with this paragraph:
I think this actually reveals a lot about the United States. Unlike virtually every other country in the world, no city, no corporation, no individual, and, in this case, no university can claim leadership in all things. The college leading the Christmas festival in the U.S. doesn’t take place at Harvard or Yale or even a top music school like Juilliard or NYU. It takes place at a very good small college that puts on a top notch show.
