I know at Knox student senate makes a list of desirable speakers in order of desirability and college officials send special report-invitational letter to number 1 on the list. I suppose if it does not work they go down on the list etc. So far Knox was able to obtain several number 1 in the last years, Obama, Colbert and now Bill Clinton is coming. Knox has great anti-slavery history and Lincoln- Douglas debate was there, as well as beeing one of the first schools to graduate women and black people. So it is not surprising that lots of politicians want their name to be associated with Knox college.
