December is National Eggnog Month

Historians’ best guess as to the origin of eggnog dates back to the English Middle Ages, where a warm, milky ale called ‘posset’, was consumed. Posset was often consumed with eggs and figs; eggs, figs, dairy, and sherry were products that only the wealthy could afford to enjoy at the time. Eggnog was thought to have arrived in the U.S. prior to the revolutionary war. Whereas most of the eggnog consumed in Britain was by the upper class (with sherry), as eggnog advanced throughout the U.S. like a milky river of frothy delight, it was generally consumed with rum or bourbon.

Because the agricultural-based colonies were flush with chickens and cows, the consumption of eggnog was not limited to crusty upper class Brits, but rather a drink that most people throughout the American colonies could enjoy. In fact, food historian, Emelyn Rude (2015), author of “How Eggnog (Almost) Changed the World”, explains that consumption of eggnog was a popular holiday pastime of many, even including West Point cadets, such as Edgar Allen Poe and Jefferson Davis.

The most widely cited standard on school security in the United States is the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design guidelines developed by the National Institute of Justice . CPTED is a multidisciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through the design and management of the built and natural environment. It emphasizes the importance of designing schools and their surroundings in a way that maximizes natural surveillance, territoriality, and access control, while minimizing opportunities for crime and creating a sense of ownership and community.

CPTED guidelines have been adopted by many schools and law enforcement agencies across the country and are often referenced in school safety plans, security assessments, and training programs required by the Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act.
