I suppose he could have received his undergrad degree from a Kansas institution, and not necessarily Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, Columbia, Harvard, or any of the other Ivy League places. Non-Ivy League schools have produced quite a number of American Rhodes Scholars: two from Davidson College in North Carolina, one from Denison University in Ohio, three from Duke, one who was jointly enrolled in Georgetown and U of Alabama, one from the University of Georgia, one from the College of the Holy Cross, a couple from UIUC, two from MIT, a bunch from Stanford, and lots of others I'm too lazy to recount/research.
Speaking of Joes' education... anyone else disagree with DDP's revelation that Duke was educated at Yale? For some reason, Duke never struck me as an Ivy League guy.
That's interesting about DDP... when was that revealed? Which Issue? That's actually not original to DDP. "The MASS Device" shows Duke having a flashback to college and he dreams of himself wearing a Yale Jersey.
Yeah, I know all Rhodes Scholarships go to Oxford. That's not the question. I was referring to the fact that his Undergraduate alma mater is never mentioned. I don't know that any Kansas Institution has ever produced a Rhodes Scholar, but there are several State Universities have. The University of Mississippi has produced about 25. West Point has about 40. Georgia has had some. Tennesse has had 6.
Duke is actually ranked 4th in producing Rhodes scholars for the past 10 years. They have produced as many as 3 in a year.
Flint's arrogance speaks of a private education. If not Ivy League, probably Ivy Caliber like Stanford or Duke. He seems like a guy who would have wanted to get away from Kansas.
