<p>Barack Obama (J.D. '91) tonight became the eighth Harvard man to be elected president of the United States.</p>
<p>I remember hearing about when he became Law Review editor, so I thought he was class of '90 at Harvard Law School. But I see that the usual reference source says he was class of '91. </p>
<p>Anyway, props to him on a great campaign, and best wishes for a very successful administration.</p>
<p>^^Here is an archived story from 1990 when he became head of the Law Review.</p>
