How I Got Into Yale?

In the summer of 1957, I attended Camp Dudley, on the New York side of Lake Champlain. Sorting through some memorabilia in connection with a recent move, I ran across the camp’s end-of-summer publication. This picture of campers in Poly Lodge gave me a smile.

Then while skimming the names of the campers from the cabin next door, Cutler Lodge, I was surprised to recognize the name of their counselor, who had graduated from Yale just before the summer began.

Could it have been a factor in my admission? 😉

It’s a small world sometimes.

(Or is it just a big club?)
