In 1953-54 at Cheshire there were two boys from Chicago; both allegedly received outside financial assistance from men in Chicago. One boy, the friend of the student now at Yale, in applying to Harvard, had written on his scholarship application form that the Yale Club of Chicago had subsidized his year at Cheshire.
Immediate checking by Bender and Yale revealed that the Yale Club had not been directly involved, but that many of the men assisting in sending the two boys East had been affiliated with the Yale Club. The freshman at Yale was thus implicated and disqualified after he had entered Yale this fall.
He has since played nothing but intramural athletics. His friend who applied to Harvard while at Cheshire did not get accepted by any eastern college.
Will Remain Ineligible
"The boy is in a tough position," Dean Godolphin said in Princeton, "but the ruling was announced about two years before it went into effect. Alumni should have known about it. Obviously, the first case that comes up is in a sense a test case. This seemed to us to be a legitimate one to enforce."
The student will remain ineligible until the Committee shall declare him otherwise, Watson reported
