I guess it did 65 years ago.

I’m not sure why it was necessary to bump a 5-month-old dormant thread to regale us with stories from the Ice Age

But 65 years ago, the Hotchkiss student body was male, predominantly white, protestant, and from wealthy families whose male ancestors also attended Hotchkiss. And the director is college counseling would call up Yale and say, “Thus is the list of men you’ll be admitting.” Those days are long gone.

Thank you for your opinion.

I thought it was of some historical “interest”, and given the thread title and it not being too old, considered it a place where it could be posted. Aren’t we supposed to keep this Forum somewhat interesting? At the very least, it provides a small glimpse on how much things have changed.
