Elect Taft: Inside Joke Alert

This one's for Meg and Shan, as a tribute to one of our long ago half-psychotic study sessions for Jarvis' American History exam.

"A lesser man might have surrendered, but with an unwavering sense of duty Taft persevered, accomplishing much during his administration."

At this time last year, I was at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and saw the dorm where President Taft lived as a student. It was quite impressive.

On another Yale-related note (there seem to be a lot of those lately), I recently learned that one of my distant relatives was a long-ago member of the Skull & Bones around the time of the Civil War. How cool/ridiculous is that?!
