Arnold's Story: May 2, 1949

I wonder about the Andrews family. It might have been them that I heard about second hand from Arnold's time in Boston: some distant cousins were keen to get their son admitted to Harvard University (it might have been Harvard Medical School) and were looking for contacts to boost his chances of gaining admission. Arnold explained that as a student he had no sway with the faculty committee that oversees admission, but not believing him or understanding how it works, they would always press their case, to the point that Arnold would turn off the lights and pretend to not be at home. It might instead have been other distant relatives in Massachusetts than the Andrews.
