Since we're doing top 5's, what Nobel-esque graduates has your school produced?
I'm not sure about Auburn.
I know John Harbert, Tim Cook, and Jimmy Wales came through Auburn.
Oh, and can't forget Cynthia Tucker!

Sounds about right. Purvis is probably not as well known, but for anyone wondering he was an FBI agent/Dept Head that captured more public enemies (like Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson) than anybody.
