Joe’s The Poorest Man On The D.C. Senate Floor Biden attended the University of Delaware in Newark, where by his own later description he was a lazy student. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a double major in history and political science in 1965, ranked 506th of 688 in his class. He went on to receive his Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law in 1968, where by his own description he again underperformed and ranked 76th of 85 students. During his first year there, he was accused of having plagiarized 5 of 15 pages of a law review article. On August 27, 1966, Biden, then a law student, married Neilia Hunter, who was from an affluent background in Skaneateles, New York. They had met in 1964 while on spring break in the Bahamas, and he had overcome her parents' initial reluctance for her to be dating a Roman Catholic. They had three children, Joseph R. "Beau" Biden III (born 1969), Robert Hunter (born 1970), and Naomi Christina (born 1971). Biden's wife and year-old daughter were killed in an automobile accident while Christmas shopping in Hockessin, Delaware on December 18, 1972, just a few weeks after the election. (Neilia Biden's station wagon was hit by a tractor-trailer as she pulled out from an intersection). The truck driver, Curtis C. Dunn, was cleared of any wrongdoing by the police, yet Biden has twice given speeches which wrongly claimed Dunn was drunk. The accident left Biden filled with both anger and religious doubt: "I liked to [walk around seedy neighborhoods] at night when I thought there was a better chance of finding a fight ... I had not known I was capable of such rage ... I felt God had played a horrible trick on me." In 1981, Biden received an honorary degree from Saint Joseph's University. Since 1991, Biden has served as an adjunct professor at the Widener University School of Law, where has taught a seminar on constitutional law. Biden has typically co-taught the course with another professor, taking on at least half the course minutes and sometimes flying back from overseas to make one of the classes. Biden's elder son, Beau, later became Delaware Attorney General and an Army attorney scheduled for service in Iraq and Biden's younger son, Hunter is a Washington attorney. Biden received five student draft deferments during this period, with the first coming in late 1963 and the last in early 1968, at the peak of the Vietnam War. In April 1968, he was reclassified by the Selective Service System as not available for service due to having had asthma as a teenager. Biden was not a part of the anti-Vietnam War movement; he would later say that at the time he was preoccupied with marriage and law school, and that he "wore sports coats ... not tie-dyed".1 A Go To College/Grad Or Go To Vietnam Dodger -2, Just like John Ashcroft who was also born in 1942, & Others 2
