Ivy League Colleges Open
to Jews, Surrey _Reports

NEW YORK (JTA) — Enroll-
ment of Jewish students in the
Ivy League colleges has grown
vastly in recent years, and decided
steps toward opening more. Ivy
League doors to Jews have been
taken this year, it was revealed
here.
According to a survey of this
year's admission policies at the
Ivy League institutions, published
Monday by the New York Times,
about 40 per cent of the students
at Columbia and the University of
Pennsylvania are now Jewish. At
Yale, Harvard and Cornell, the
Jewish students are now thought
to number between 20 and 25 per
cent, while between 13 and 20 per
cent of the students at Dart-
mouth, Princeton and Brown are
believed to be Jewish.
This year's admissions, according
to the Times, are based on the
quality of each student and his
background, rather than on geo-
graphical distribution. H. Inslee
Clark, Jr., dean of admissions at
Yale, was quoted as saying that
• efforts are now being made by his
office to enroll more students from
such outstanding public high
schools in New York as Erasmus
Hall in Brooklyn and the Bronx
High School of Science.
Since both of these schools. have
very high enrollments of Jews, that
step alone was seen as tending to-
ward the opening of more places
in Yale's freshman class to Jews.
Referring to the hig school in
the Bronx, Dean Clark said:
"Until three years ago, we didn't
do any recruiting there at all,
even though it's one of the best
public schools in the country.
Now we do, and we get more
people from there, and I sup-
pose many of them are Jewish."
When asked about the sharp rise
in the enrollment of Jewish stu-
dents, Dean Clark was quoted
as replying: "Is that right? I
honestly hadn't noticed. In this
office, our, only concern is
quality."
Rabbi Richard .1. Israel. a chap-
lain at Yale. said that, over the
years, Yale never had a religious
