Bowling Green State University. We got:
Orel Hershiser (baseball)
Tim Conway (actor/comedian)
James Baldwin (author)
I also work at a university whose undisputed most famous attendee is Michael Jordan. He left for the NBA after his junior year.
There are probably more, but Dr. Earl Sutherland, winner of the 1971 Nobel Prize for Medicine, got his bachelor’s degree from Washburn University, which I attended.
Many.
I could swear I went there with Kevin Eubanks, but the alumni site says he graduated the year before I started.
Branford Marsalis
Tracy Bonham
Alf Clausen
Melissa Etheridge
Quincy Jones
Joey Kramer
Howard Shore
Alan Silvestri
Steve Vai
Well, Henry Fonda was born in my hometown but not sure if he went to (high)school there.
As a matter of fact, all I could find was notable people for the city, not the school.
Some others listed:
Bo Evans (computer pioneer)
Tom Rathman (did go to same highschool)
Tenor Joe Feeney (Lawrence Welk show) and father of Chris Feeney (opera singer).
Not bad for such a small midwestern town!
Grand Island, NE
I went to the University of Toronto, which due to its size has quite a few distinguished alumni… so to make it interesting, I’ll just stick to the ones who graduated from Victoria College instead since that’s where I lived and studied.
Off the top of my head, I can name authors Northrop Frye, E J Pratt (for whom the library is named) and Margaret Atwood (whose novel, Cat’s Eye, provided the name for our college pub), actors Donald Sutherland and Don McKellar, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Lester B Pearson.
Full list of U of T notables is here, and I’m pretty sure it’s missing a few names.
James Meredith, first black student at Ole Miss; leader in the American civil rights movement
Jim Barksdale, founder and former CEO of Netscape
William Faulkner, Nobel Prize in Literature
John Grisham, author; attorney; former Mississippi representative
Susan Akin-Lynch, Miss America 1986
Mary Ann Mobley Collins, Miss America 1959; actress
Lynda Mead Shea, Miss America 1960; owner and president of Shea-Moore Design
Admiral John S. McCain, Sr., USN; grandfather of Senator John McCain (I just realized where McCain hall got its name)
Mose Allison, jazz and blues pianist
Guy Hovis, singer
Trent Lott, former U.S. Senator
Bill Parsons, director of NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center
Archie Manning, former New Orleans Saints QB
Eli Manning, New York Giants QB; Super Bowl XLII MVP
Deuce McAllister, New Orleans Saints running back
Cynthia Geary, actress
Kate Jackson, actress, best known for Charlie’s Angels
Gerald McRaney, actor
I only went to school with one of these people, Bill Parsons of NASA.
Oh yeah, University of Mississippi. 
Off the top of my head
High School: Howard Stern
College: Paul Reiser
I’ll take 25 UK PMs, you freaking tab. 
(And haven’t you had 15 PMs, or is wiki wrong?)
As for my college, undergrad wise we had Roger Bannister, William Morris, and J.R.R. Tolkein (and Philip Pullman, I just discovered).
My US law school had Al Gore and Fred Thompson.
Happily trade a few PMs for 80+ nobel prize winners
Nope, he’s yours by rights… he did his DNA research over here, but wasn’t a student.
I didn’t know you went to Ole Miss, NinetyWt!
OK, Mississippi University for Women
Eudora Welty - in fact they are about to change the name and I’ve heard that this is on the short list (Welty University). There are many others but not a lot of people I had heard of.
Well, my high school can claim ESPN’s “The Rick” as one of its alumni. He graduated in 1987, the year before I did so we probably knew who each other was.
For the dear old alma mater we’ve got plenty to pick and choose from:
Bill Clinton
Pat Buchanan
King Abdullah II of Jordan
Antonin Scalia (huh, didn’t know that!)
Patrick Ewing
Dikembe Mutombo
and a host of minor supporting actors both real and fictional (the latter including Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan).
Oh yeah, and some ghost story with a really long stone staircase…
This guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Mathabane.
He went to a number of schools but did two years at mine, where he graduated. His book Kafir Boy In Americacontained a chapter about how the 1984 Student Association election was rigged. His outrage was very strong and he was treated unfairly, but stilll he was a real dickhead.
I went to a few schools…
Eastern Washington University
* Todd McFarlane
Central Washington University
* Jon Kitna (NFL QB)
* Craig T. Nelson
Washington State University
* Edward R. Murrow
* Gary Larsen (The Far Side)
* Dolph Lundgren
* Roy Orbison
* Paul Allen
* Senator Patty Murray
* Timothy Leary
* Lawrence Peter (The Peter Principle)
* Bill Nye
* Drew Bledsoe (NFL)
* Ron Cey (MLB)
* Mark Rypian (NFL QB, Super Bowl MVP)
* Kenny G
Oddly enough, the Wiki for my first university (I do have a degree from there) doesn’t list any notables at all, but Pamela Wallin is the current Chancellor (it was Lincoln Alexander when I was there). Cassie Campbell (former captain of Canada’s women’s Hockey Team and Olympic gold medalist) is a U of Guelph alumnus.
McGill does have a few more, including 8 Nobel Prize winners, the most famous of which would probably be Ernest Rutherford.
Other interesting names are:
Ok, so that last one is fictional. Still made the list, though!
I also think we have pretty much every permanent secretary for the Department of Transportation since the war. Which is why we have the M40 and a great train link, and it takes God knows how many hours to get from London to the Fens (though why anyone would want to go there I don’t know).
Not sure which is cooler:
Undergrad: Obama!
Post-grad: Gadarene!
Campbellsville College (now University) in Campbellsville, KY:
Russ Mobley, KY House of Representatives. And he didn’t graduate from there: he was the theatre arts prof.
That’s it. Yee-haw.
I went to a school that’s been around a long time, so that helps rack up famous alumni. The list is pretty impressive, and includes Barack Obama. Anna Paquin spent a year there as a freshman when I was a senior, and sadly, I never got her number.
From Va Tech: Um, Michael Vick 
To be technical, however, he didn’t graduate.
Yes’m, my daddy taught in the Engineering school there for almost 30 years. I was born in Oxford. During an ice storm. So long ago, the hospital was segregated. :eek:
Likewise, I didn’t know you went to “The W”. I’m actually old enough to remember when it was MSCW.
