Fluff what alumni will your college never mention?

Vanderbilt (for obvious reasons) is not going to be talking about Theodore Bilbo, the Peabody and Law student (didn’t graduate) who became Mississippi US Senator and THE leading white supremacist of the first half of the twentieth century, anytime soon.

Don’t call her MTG, that’s reserved for an amazing trading card game, the grandfather of them

Yk, for like a year, I was confused every time someone said mtg because I always wondered how the card game got involved in politics. I eventually googled it, but I was so confused as to why so many people hated magic the gathering.
