I really think you need to watch this movie called volunteers. Seeing how you are going to graduate from Yale and possibly join the Peace Corps, i feel this is necessary for your future development. Then you will know who Tom Tuttle from Tacoma, WA is. Who's the fancy pants in the photo. Looks like Mama's boy if you ask me.
okay, sorry jefe, it was the protestants. my point was that it has religious beginnings. yale was founded in 1701 because other colleges (harvard) were being a bit too liberal with their biblical translations. new havenites wanted a firm literal take.

Wait, it doesn't seem obvious to me who started Yale. Was is Protestant, Catholic, or Jewish (Chapel, Church, Temple)?
he IS a mama's boy. but in a good way.
