Answer 4

Please disregard Bob Jones' answer.  (Sorry Bob Jones.)  The article he cites and relies upon was written in 1962.  He (or she) should have been tipped off when the article talked about St. Louis University and its tendency to have a lot of N E G R O students.  [Yahoo won't allow me to type those letters as a single word.]  

Some of the ones I hear about on a constant basis (in no certain order):

- Notre Dame
