Another trivia point:
Alger Hiss got this undergraduate degree from John Hopkins in the 1920s.
And I am a JHU grad.
Very interesting - I didn't know that about Hiss but I'm sure such a distinguished university has a very long list of outstanding and famous alumni.
Just curiosity, because I'm too lazy to check dates right now but -- I wonder if Nixon was at Duke Law around the same time? Nixon, Hiss, and the "pumpkin papers" are an indeliable part of modern American history.
