Places to do NABOKOV Graduate work

Body
The MLA Newsletter recently published tables of
(1) American university English Depts that turned out between 42 & 128 PhDs in English (1993-1998) and
(2) that turned out between 18 and 138 foreign language PhDs in the same period.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Looking over the tables I compiled a very rough and ready list of institutions that I thought would be good places to work on Nabokov. My opinions are just that and quite likely other choices might be equally good or better. My apologies to any places slighted. The suggestions are based chiefly upon the presence of Nabokov specialists on the faculty and, in the case of Russian, programs big enough to offer good all round training.
My lists are in no particular order.
English: Univ. of California at Berkeley; UCLA; U. of Virginia; U. of Washington; Univ. of Wisconsin (Madison); Cornell: USC; Princeton.
Russian: Univ. of Wisconsin; UC, Berkeley; UCLA; Yale; Stanford; University of Virginia; University of Washington.

Further suggestions are welcome.
