These are some interesting facts about valedictorians at Washington and Lee University. All I had was the list of valedictorians since 1914. Some interesting facts.
Between the years of 1925 and 1961 37% of the valedictorians had the suffix junior.
A friend of mine was having trouble understanding the graph above, so I made a quick little chart that has the percent of valedictorians that had suffixes in the 9 years surrounding that year. This illustrates the density of suffixed valedictorians over time. Complete waste of my time? Maybe. Interesting? Depends. Poorly put together? Obviously.
Since 4 years after women were allowed to attend (1989), there have been 13 female valedictorians. Representing 59% of valedictorians since their admission.
And so ends the first post.
