William Jefferson Blythe aka Bill Clinton
Clinton was bornWilliam Jefferson Blythe IIIon August 19, 1946, at Julia Chester Hospital in Hope, Arkansas.[4]
He is the son of William Jefferson Blythe Jr., a traveling salesman who died in an automobile accident three months before his birth, and Virginia Dell Cassidy (later Virginia Kelley).[5]
Blythe had initially survived the crash, but drowned in a drainage ditch. His parents married on September 4, 1943, but this union later proved bigamous, as Blythe was still married to his fourth wife.[6]
Virginia traveled to New Orleans to study nursing soon after Bill was born, leaving him in Hope with her parents Eldridge and Edith Cassidy, who owned and ran a small grocery store.[7]
At a time when the southern United States was racially segregated, Clinton's grandparents sold goods on credit to people of all races.[7][8][9][10][11]
In 1950, Bill's mother returned from nursing school and married Roger Clinton Sr., who co-owned an automobile dealership in Hot Springs, Arkansas, with his brother and Earl T. Ricks.[7]
The family moved to Hot Springs in 1950.[12]
Although he immediately assumed use of his stepfather's surname, it was not until Clinton turned 15[13] that he formally adopted the surname Clinton as a gesture toward him.[7]
Clinton has described his stepfather as a gambler and an alcoholic who regularly abused his family.
The physical abuse only ceased after a then-14-year-old Bill challenged his stepfather to "stand and face" him, though the verbal abuse continued.[14]
Bill would eventually forgive Roger Sr. for his abusive actions near the latter's death.[15][16]
William Jefferson Clinton (né Blythe; born August 19, 1946) is an American politician and lawyer who served as the 42nd president of the United States from 1993 to 2001.

Born and raised in Arkansas, Clinton graduated fromGeorgetown University in 1968, and later from Yale Law School, where he met his future wife, Hillary Rodham.
After graduating from law school, Clinton returned to Arkansas and won election as state attorney general, followed by two non-consecutive tenures as Arkansas governor.

Founding
In 1634, Jesuit settlers from England founded the Province of Maryland in colonial-era British America.[13]
In 1646, the defeat of the Royalists in the English Civil War led to stringent laws against Catholic education and the extradition of known Jesuits from the colony, including missionary Andrew White, and the destruction of their school at Calverton Manor.[5]
During most of the remainder of Maryland's colonial period, Jesuits conducted Catholic schools clandestinely.
Following the end of the American Revolutionary War, plans to establish a permanent Catholic institution for education in the United States were realized.[14]
At Benjamin Franklin's recommendation, Pope Pius VI appointed former Jesuit John Carroll the first head of the Catholic Church in the United States, even though the papal suppression of the Jesuit order was still in effect.
Carroll began meetings of local clergy in 1783 near Annapolis, where they orchestrated the development of a new university.[15]
On January 23, 1789, Carroll finalized the purchase of the property in Georgetown on which Dahlgren Quadrangle was later built.[16]
Future Congressman William Gaston was enrolled as the school's first student on November 22, 1791, and instruction began on January 2, 1792.[15]
