   In 1950 I went to Ohio University in Athens, and met my best friend for many years. He was Jewish from Forest Hills NY. [I was Anglo farm boy from New England.] A straight A highschool record was not enough for Eastern Ivy schools. I went home with him a couple of times. They ran a special train from Athens to N.Y. city for all the Jewish students. OU then was a mediocre school, but the best one in the country then for my subject and benefiting from the Jewish influx of brilliant students. I later did my graduate work at UCLA, also the best for my subject at the time, and it was FREE in in 1959-61.
