How cool is this?!

Northwestern University now has a Mad Men course - officially titled Consumerism and Social Change in Mad Men America, 1960-1965.  Michael Allen, assistant history professor admits to loving the drama but also the program's historic themes.  History lovers attest to that special quality of Mad Men.

"Mad Men provides a good understanding of how ordinary people participated in history and produced change in politics broadly conceived."  Students are now watching the first season. 

Of course ... there are detractors who reject this idea.
