<p>It was all about money and legacies</p>
<p>didn’t each college have its own entrance exam?</p>

<p>they went to the top boarding schools and had an divided up the kids. ‘johnny’s dad went to harvard, so he is going there too’ ‘well if you get johnny we get bill his dad is a banker and he is a great fball player’.</p>
<p>they had dualing tournaments.</p>
<p>Entrance exams.</p>
