The Battle of Waterloo, according to the famous saying, was won on the playing fields of Eton. (The meaning is clear, whether or not Wellington ever actually said it.)
Well now the Atlantic's Conor Friedersdorf casts a light on the playing fields of Oberlin, and, well, basically to the extent that the conceit of the saying about playing fields is true, the Waterloos of the future are going to be hilarious.
