"though Jewish"?[edit]

The article makes the point that he graduated from Exeter and Harvard notwithstanding his being Jewish. What is the source for that implication? Were these institutions really that anti-semitic in the late 30s/early 40s? I don't recall ever seeing that comment being made in regard to Norman Mailer's tenure at Harvard during the same period. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.29.79.117 (talk) 19:54, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In a word, yes, they were. Specifically, check out the " Life with History" source at the bottom of the page, citation number four. Some of the other sources also repeat the theme. Best, Markvs88 (talk) 22:42, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
