12. Yup. Did you know that every single person who has a Yale college named after him
(including Yalie Samuel Morse whose namesake college was established as late as 1965)had owned slaves? Some Yale professors only a couple of years ago made a huge stink about that.

Note: for those who don't know, Yale is unique among American colleges in that it has "colleges" subsumed under Yale College, like the UK's Cambridge and Oxford. As a Yale undergrad you are assigned to one of them.
