I remember reading about Chester Arthur during a history course a number of years ago.

There were many allegations of bribery and corruption because of his connection with the Customs House and certain legal fraternities. I am no expert, but I recall that class rather fondly.

I am pretty certain that you would not have aced that history course when it came to President Arthur. My Professor seemed to particularly despise the man.

I have never seen anyone heap praise on the man before. I'll have to read a bit more.

I often aced a course while expressing an opinion contrary to the professor’s (my degree is a BA in Sociology – cum laude). I just made sure I could back up what ever I espoused. I never was one to believe I had to mimic the teacher to get a good grade.
