JA. 4-5424 'v- JA. 4-5426 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.
