been taken this year, it was re
vealed.
According to a survey of this
year’s admission policies at the
Ivy League institutions, publish
ed by the The New York Times,
about 40 percent of the students
at Columbia and the University
of Pennsylvania are now Jewish.
At Yale, Harvard and Cornell,
the Jewish students are now
thought to number between 20
and 25 percent, while between 13
and 20 percent of the students
at Dartmouth, Princeton and
Brown are believed to be Jew
ish.
This year’s admissions, - accord
ing to the Times, are based on
the quality of each student and
his background, rather than on
geographical distribution. H. tn-

slee Clark Jr., dean of admis
sions at Yale, .was quoted as say
ing that efforts are now being
made by (/is office to enroll more,
student^ from such outstanding
pubic high schools in New York
as E^asn^us Hall in Brooklyn @nd
the Bronx High School of Science.
Sin*ce\ both of these schools have
very tiigh enrollments of Jews,
that St&p alone was seen as tend
ing toward the opening of more
places^ In Yale’s freshman class
la Jext's.
Referring to the high school in
the Bronx, Dean Clark said:
“Until three years ago, we didn’t
do any' recruiting there at all,
even though it’s one of the best
public schools in the country. Now
we do, and we get more people
from there, and I suppose many
of them are Jewish.’’ When ask
ed about the sharp rise in the en
rollment of Jewish students, Dean
Clark was quoted as replying: “Is
that right? I honestly hadn’t no
ticed. In this office, our only
concern is quality.”
In general, Ivy League admis
sions deans, the Times reported,
acknowledged the possibility that
some classes may be dominated
“by Jews, by New Englanders Or
by football players.” “In some
years,” Dean Clark said, “we got
to the point where something like
that has happened. Well, maybe
we have to reevaluate our sys
tem. But at the moment, we get
a pretty diverse group just by
"~s"3ektri)^wJUi^very best we can
get.”
Rabbi Richard J. Israel, a chap
lain at Yale, said that, over the
years, Yale never had a religious
quota, although the number of
Jews in each class in the 1950s
“tended to be between 103 and
109.” That estimate, he said, was
based on questionnaires filled out
by all freshmen, for religious
guidance, since the original ap
plication blanks to the university
include no questions about relig
ion.
Rabbi I. M. Levy, a chaplain at
Princeton, said: “When I came
here in 1948, there were perhaps
75 to 100 Jews in the whole
school. Now there are more than
100 per class. The general atmos
phere in this country brought
about the change. Americans sim
ply bechme disgusted with dis
crimination. But that new lib
eralism goes only a certain dis
tance.”
Rabbi Levy was cited as ex
pressing “a vague suspicion”
shared with other rabbit* that
there is still some unconscious
anti-Semitism through such de
vices as preferential treatment
for the sons of alumni or by ves
tiges of geographical distribution.
Under the system of geographical
distribution, admissions were
given more frequently to students
from areas where there are rel
atively few Jews, as contrasted
to centers like New York, where
it is estimated that about 40 per
cent of the residents are Jewish.

When your car fails to star)
you may get disgusted, but
when your car fails to stop
you may get hurt. The cost
of keeping your brakes in
first class completely depend
able condition is trifling in
comparison with the cost of
even a minor accident. That’s
why H makes sense to insist
on nothing but the best brake
maintenance.
Genuine Star brake renewal
service is the lowest cost
insurance you can buy.
