Second hand story: when Rust Jr. was at Wesleyan, he went to class in a suit every day. This was in the 70s: no bell bottoms for Jr.!
I don’t understand why IWU is treated as if it is Harvard at State Farm. It is a decent liberal arts college. Illinois, Northwestern, Wash U, U Chicago: they’re ok. Illinois Wesleyan? Now we’re talking! Leaders’ alma maters shouldn’t drive this bad of an education misalignment.
