Men were accused OF getting prici-
leges-score card privileges, the priv

arettes and tobacco, and OF acting as
local agents for concerns that could
do business with the undergraduate
body.
Fellows who were known to be Of
families too poor to pay tuition fees
for their sons lived in luxury at the
big colleges They belonged to the
smartest sets. And they were all attn
ietes.
Men were rounded MP in prep
schools and coached to pass examine
lions, it was stated. Sometimes they
took an examination in one college
only to change their minds and en-
xer another.
This was not uncommon among
great football players.
