48. To combat this “Jewish problem,” President Lowell sought to institute a cap on Jewish enrollment in each entering class.

49. In his letter to Hocking, President Lowell stated that the best approach would be “to state frankly that we thought we could do the most good by not admitting more than a certain proportion of men in a group that did not intermingle with the rest, and give our reasons for it to the public.” According to Lowell, “[e]xperience seems to place that proportion at about 15%.”

my cousin went to arguably the best magnet high school in california, was valedictorian, had around 2300 on the SAT, and tons of leadership and awards and he got dinged at Harvard, Stanford, MIT, and Columbia. Now he did go to Princeton, so things worked out for him but still, you get my point.

How many AA or Hispanics with those numbers were dinged? Probably zero.

I thought the issue was whether the applicant was given a fair shake, not whether the plaintiff would have been admitted.
