He was a wild man in college
Teddy attended Harvard in 1876 at a time when students were mostly prim and proper. He was not. Known for shouting at people he knew from across the lawn and becoming aggressive during debates, Teddy still made lots of friends through sports and graduated 21st out of 161 students. It was there he met his first wife, Alice Lee, and on several occasions challenged men to duels if they dared approach her.
