Some of those who did have been such as: The planter George Washington; Storekeeper, Flatboatsman and Postmaster Abraham Lincoln; And, Haberdasher Harry S. Truman---And that by service in dangerous military actions. [For myself, I did enlist in the US Navy and found myself in one of the six-or-so most dangerous, enlisted grade, specialties; After that service I did obtain a university degree, was employed by a "Department Of Corrections", working with some dangerous criminals. and assisted fire fighters in putting down a fire involving many gallons of very dangerous solvents.]
Other, parallel, dangerous work as can be had (Even by females in this era) to demonstrate the willingness to take real risks for the "common good" include (But are not limited to): Full time and volunteer fire fighters (Including those who combat forest fires); Peace officers; Guards in maximum and super-maximum security prisons; Doing "community work" and living in such places as the South sides of Chicago and Los Angeles; And, doing such work and living in the rural areas of
Sub-Saharan Africa or the Favelas of Brazil.
Those ladies (Yes, I know that I am not "politically correct") who seek power (Or success in academia) in later life can demonstrate such risk-taking by carrying, birthing and educating (In the broadest sense) their children to law-abiding and contributing places in our Republic.
In more recent times I have noted the "snowflakes" and "professional victims" in our colleges and universities have, most exactly, demonstrated that lack of dangerous service to others. It appears that such lesser creatures, even lacking that service, assume that they are entitled to attack the free speech (ie The necessary, but not sufficient, basis of academic freedom).
Perhaps, those "snowflakes" would be less likely to melt in the real world, after leaving the womb of too many schools, if they were exposed-to and hardened-by some, at risk, work in the real world before matriculation. If not required, I suggest that admission and scholarship officers give such "servants of the people" massive priority over others and more so over those who have been buying their way into universities.
Those who hire faculty or other school employees would do magnify their schools by looking to the same prior services.
