A critical perspective is presented in regard to rankings of Canadian universities by Maclean's magazine, November 20, 1995. Present comments are based, in part, on a previous analysis (Page, 1995) of the Maclean's rankings from 1993 and 1994. Several pitfalls in the ranking procedures, and results of some analyses of the 1995 ranking data, are briefly outlined.
