Robert LaFollette Sr.

Darn it! I should have known that, as I started college as a political science major. And that was back in the pre-PC days, when colleges taught things that were really true.
But then again, I was in the poli sci program for just a year Then I got kicked out (poor grades). Long story, but I eventually ended up as a chemistry major. So getting kicked out of poli sci was really a blessing.
