It is a great school academically, but outside of religious universities, the Citadel and that crazy school in Michigan, is there a more conservative university?

I assume you want it’s original name? Washington University.

A high schoolfriend went there in the early 80’s. He was a decent guy when in high school. At our 20th reunion he was the biggest dick there. Was not happy that so many of our African American classmates attended even though they were 30% of our class. Even his closest High school friends ended up giving him the brush off. That kind of talk was not generally accepted by educated folks in central Arkansas even in the early 2000’s.


Your post confirms my suspicions about where that came from.

Thanks for fighting the good fight.
