https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bow_tie_wearers Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. wrote about his decision as a college student to start wearing bow ties in his memoir A Life in the Twentieth Century: Innocent Beginnings, 1917–1950. Schlesinger remarked that he made his decision in part because a number of famous men he admired had a penchant for the neck wear. In addition, he noted that they prevent dinner mishaps, saying, It is impossible, or at least it requires extreme agility, to spill anything on a bow tie.
