...West" because two of its founders, Stephen Peet and Aaron Chapin, and its first two faculty members were all Yale men.

Ten minutes later, after a quick wedding, they were back in front of the mike again to tell how they felt now. For this surrender of privacy, Barbara and Gene had been lured by the prize of thousands of dollars' worth of gifts and selected from 200 competing couples.
