...Rogers became an investing legend in the 1970s while running a spectacularly successful hedge fund with George Soros. Since then, the Alabama native has traveled around the world more than once - on motorcycle and in a car - writing about his experiences, and his thoughts on investing, along the way.

So, in sticking with the Halloween theme, I have made my pick based on which school has the best campus legend featured on its Wikipedia page. My one and only source for term papers mentions Princeton’s “Phantom of Fine Hall…an obscure, shadowy figure that would infest Fine Hall, home to the Mathematics Department, and write complex equations on blackboards.”Even if the phantom...
