Daniel H. Rosenthal grew up in Iowa City, Iowa, with his parents, David and Jane, and sister, Becky. He received a B.A. with distinction in history and international studies from Yale University in 1997, and his weekly authorship of “From Cornfields to Crime Zones” — a Yale Daily News column devoted to the larger issues of Ivy League athletics — led to a postgraduate position as a public information assistant and senior researcher for the Ivy League office. A majority of his duties during the last two years focused on the Silver Anniversary Celebration and culminated in the publication of this text. Rosenthal began his studies at Duke Law School in the fall of 1999.
