Former Miss Universe contestent weighs in on the Watson Affair
that's dumb. jew quotas? the incredible spike in SAT scores that occurred in the 1960s?
what do you mean? 'm not dumb. I can talk.
My point was that there were blacks who attended college as long ago as 1835. You'd be amazed at the number of people who think women were not allowed to attend school until the 20th century.
As far as quotas, weren't the Jew quotas over by the 50s? I went to GWU in D.C., and found out that that was a popular alma mater for Jews, because they could not attend many other universities for decades. GWU admitted women, Jews, blacks and others, at the turn of the 20th century. It was quite remarkable for that. As for the SAT spikes: that means what?
For what it's worth, I once saw an exam from 1893, for 8th graders, that they would have had to take to graduate. Few university attendees would be able to pass it today and the questions were not about things germaine only to that era. The questions were math problems, algebra, essays, grammar, geography (lots), history, etc. I maintain, not without reference to professors themselves from that era, that it was harder to get in to most universities prior to the 1960s.

Blah: Oberlin College, founded in 1833 by progressive Christians, has admitted blacks since 1835. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberlin_College.
There have been blacks in northern universities since the mid-1800s, and there have been black colleges in the southern states since after the Civil War. Many of these black colleges were started and endowed by whites, such as the Rankin family (Howard University).
Thomas Sowell has said he experienced no racism at Harvard during the 1950s. In those days you got in by merit only, not affirmative action (with the exception of a handful of "legacy places".
