Princeton denied that the program was an end run around the Overlap pact. A Dartmouth official called the denial an act of "sophistry." Yale's president, Benno Schmidt, wrote, "This looks like a blatant merit scholarship to me," prompting Princeton's president, William Bowen, to sniff during a deposition, "I would really not have thought a person as well trained in the law as Mr. Schmidt would make such a blatantly foolish assertion...
