John Willis Menard becomes the first African-American elected to a Congressional seat, filling a seat in the House vacated by the late James Mann. Elected from the state of Louisiana, the new Representative never took the seat as a result of an objection from his opponent, Caleb Hunt. Hunt questioned Menard's right to even hold the seat. In the end, the House left the seat vacant until the next election.

Necessity drove Almon Strowger to invent the automated telephone. After losing some business, the undertaker discovered his competition's wife was one of the local telephone operators. By inventing the phone that dialed the necessary party directly, Strowger eliminated the need for an operator. Eventually, Strowger pursued manufacturing the automatic telephone exchange, and it became widely used by telephone companies.

OHIO STATE
2023 revenue: $279,549,337
Need to know: Ohio State placed No. 1 in revenue rankings for the second-straight year despite missing out on the Big Ten title and College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes' $127.3 million football revenue was split fairly evenly between ticket sales and donations, and the men's basketball team finished at No. 8 nationally, an improvement of two spots from last year
