The post-Reagan presidents have all been Ivy League IIRC (Yale for the Bushes, Columbia for Obama, Penn for Trump).


Biden went to Delaware for undergrad and Syracuse for law school

Duke University a PRIVATE ELITE school

Duke is considered an elite school now, but before the 1990’s it was not.

It was in the 1960's

Vanderbilt got shipping / railroad Sugar Daddy

Duke got tobacco Sugar Daddy

Sewanee did not, so they never got the name "facelift"

This was an answer on Jeopardy last week. My kid got it, he's been studying the presidents. I knew he played football but not where.

Didn’t Kennedy grow a mustache one summer?

ETA - Had to look it up, apparently he did it for a few weeks and it was before he was President.

Michigan has always been known as a public Ivy along with UVA and Berkeley.

Ford also went to Yale Law School after playing ball for Michigan. Byron White, Supreme Court Justice, also went to Yale Law School after playing ball at Colorado. White was a first round draft pick in the NFL draft and actually played in the NFL for a little while.

As to Yale, something to ponder

Ketchup Man (D) went to Yale

Shrub (R) went to Yale


They ran for POTUS the same election cycle
They were both "Skull & Bones" at Yale


For you math nerds out there, what is the probability of this happening?

Taft had a full mustache. Truman had a few hairs on his upper lip that didn't show unless you were up close

His son, Danny White had quite a career as a punter, backup QB to Roger Staubach, and then a few years as the starter for the Cowboys.
