If at the expiration of that time I have refrained from all pub- licity and quietly worked, taking cop- jous notes of all psychological books 1 have read, then I will respectfully ask to be admitted to the graduate school of Harvard. “I will be willing to even refrain from engaging in conversation with any Harvard students concerning my past life and at all times show the highest respect for Harvard univer- sity and Harvard traditions. All 1 will ask s a chance to study in the library, a chance to work to pay for my education and support my family and a chance to prove that I am sin- cere in my desire to take graduate work in psychology at this great in- stitution. “I am confident that if 1 have lived an eXemplary life at Cambridge for one year and have proven by honest hard work and study that I really de- sire to continue my education at Har- vard, the splendid men at the head of that Institution will admit an ex- prizefighter, even though I have had a shady past which I very much re- gret.” ALLEN HELD FOR HEARING Bridgeport Storekeeper Claims Liquor He Had Was Kept for Own Pur- poses—Not for Hotel Guests.
