At the risk of endangering my blue collar roots, years ago, I had an approved application to MIT, prior to the interview phase.
I got the MIT Catalog in the mail, and right there among the Student Activities section was Students for a Democratic Society (if you don't know what that is/was, do some Googling).
I thought about it, called up, canceled my interview, and told them I had selected another school.
Scary to think that they are the conservative ones now, though I am sure that MIT gets a large part of their money through Government funded research.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
