Clemson: Academic Excellence! Athletic Excellence!

As any Gladiator could tell you, when they were not busy fighting lions in the arena, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Aurelius and Geta. These were two brothers, with the much more grandiose full names of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus and Publius Septimius Geta Caesar. No wonder they shortened them up.

208 years ago, it was the year 1816. Happenings from that time:

March 16 – U.S. Secretary of State James Monroe is nominated by a caucus of Democratic-Republican Party members of Congress, to be its party's representative in the U.S. presidential election; Monroe receives 65 votes, and Secretary of War William H. Crawford receives 54 votes.

March 22 – The United States signs a treaty with the Cherokee Nation, acknowledging that it will return land in Alabama and Georgia that had been illegally ceded to the U.S. in 1814 by the Creek Nation; General Andrew Jackson refuses to honor the treaty, and uses the controversy as a justification for removing Indians from the southeastern United States.

March 30–April 11 – In Philadelphia, the African Methodist Episcopal Church is established by Richard Allen and other African-American Methodists, the first such denomination in the U.S. completely independent of White churches.

July – Lord Byron, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Percy Bysshe Shelley and John Polidori, gathered at the Villa Diodati by Lake Geneva in a rainy Switzerland, tell each other tales. This gives rise to two classic Gothic narratives: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and Polidori's The Vampyre.

September 3 – Pope Pius VII sends a directive to Stanisław Bohusz Siestrzeńcewicz, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Mohilev, advising Siestrzeńcewicz not to continue the Russian Bible Society's plans to circulate the Scriptures written in the Russian language, commenting that "if the Sacred Scriptures were allowed in the vulgar tongue, more detriment than benefit would arise.

October 25–November 6 – 1816 United States presidential election: James Monroe defeats Rufus King. Thank Goodness, can you imagine the uproar if we had to address someone as President King?

December 11 – Indiana is admitted as the 19th U.S. state.

Several of the nuggets above show that history is not always good or pretty, it just is history.
