The poor man's Harvard
Brooklyn: Re "New test rules fail CUNY's mission" (Op-Ed, Aug. 12): When I applied to City College in 1940, I needed a minimum 88 high school average before I could take the entrance exam. Once accepted, I had to maintain at least a C average or I'd be thrown out. Students got in and stayed in on merit. When open enrollment was instituted in 1969, our beloved college lost its standing as a top school. I am happy an attempt is being made to restore its reputation.
