<p>Associating conservative politicians with the schools they went to is probably a bad idea, and a pathetic way to diss other schools.</p>
<p>I went on tours of both Princeton and Yale this spring, and I remember pretty well the Yale girl saying, "We were the only ivy to let southern students remain during the civil war". And it wasn't a pro Confederacy/South decision, just more to not penalize students who happened to be born in the South. </p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the Princeton tour guide never mentioned anything about the Civil War...</p>
