Erstwhile Harvard undergraduate Lenny Ross may have turned his $100,000 "Big Surprise" into "The Big Mistake" yesterday. When John A. Kaye, president of Stanwood Oil, offered ten year-old Ross a $2500-a-year scholarship to the Wharton School of Finance, the quiz kid, he turned it down, explaining that he wanted to go to Harvard.
But Kaye may yet have his way. For despite his knowledge of Wall Street which won the NBC-TV award, Ross only stands in the top half of the seventh grade in Tujunga, Calif., which is not likely to get him into Harvard.
