...Furthermore, from most accounts, Cheek is a humble and down-to-earth man who is a pleasure to be around.So, should his charitable nature get him into Harvard?Somewhere, there are gleaming schemers viciously nodding their heads with barely faded memories of their parents’ fat checkbooks. For this reason, this has to be a big no-no.Granted, Cheek is not making his donation to Larry Summers’ office, and his gift came after he had already heard back from Byerly Hall. Nevertheless—and sad as it may be—a noble heart does...
