Sort of in the US? This was what a somewhat common early 20th century “secondary school” text had to say, and it’s kind of rough. Many college experiences would not have elaborated further.

This is a bit revisionist, look at the Big 4. Only Stanford substantially contributed to charity (University) in his lifetime. For the other three it was the heirs. Charlie Crocker was putting up 40’ spite fences with his money

The beauty of the Tiger and what makes Wehraboo so amusing is they probably didn’t do this to make the factory more efficient, they did it because they had no other choice

This is Dave today. Denying P2025 was only convincing if you were a bird brain born yesterday it was an obviously transparent lie that the press corps promulgated because they are morons. I loathe him because he’s complicit and cries about it.

He was, but it’s not an academically great school and it’s in the ex-urbs (more rural when he was there). He was a comparatively much better athlete then than anytime since. Pretty much kept the same haircut though
