Interestingly enough, my daughter's college, Lake Forest, was founded by the Scottish Presbyterians but you wouldn't know it if you went up there...no trace of it around at all. We've been conspiring about cooking up a Lake Forest tartan but my daughter might be the only one who wears it.
The founding story is kind of funny...the Methodists founded Northwestern in Evanston so the Presbyterians figured that they had been one-upped and went farther up the lakeshore to Lake Forest and started their own college. So guess which school ended up with the better football team? At least I don't have to worry about going to the Rose Bowl...ever.
