13. Yeah, his name was George Bush

Son of George Bush (son of Prescott Bush, who was the son of Samuel Bush...etc.) Being a Fortunate Son tended to help.

How well did Bush do in his classes?

Also, keep in mind that higher education was strictly an elite thing in FDR's time (and not all of the elite went to college, either). Nowadays, a lot of highly educated people (particularly young people) are lucky to have a decent job, period. The kind of employment for someone with no education beyond high school simply doesn't exist anymore.

Some of us believe that quality advanced education should be available to and affordable for the masses. Others disagree.
