- Ted managed to graduate from prep school (Milton Academy) in 1950 with only a C average. - Teddy was never a scholar, and his brother Jack once referred to him as "the gay illiterate". - Despite his terrible grades, Teddy (like brother Robert) was admitted to Harvard as a "legacy", because his older brothers and father had graduated form there with such distinction. - Yet even at Harvard, young Ted floundered. - In his sophomore year he was expelled for cheating. He had been failing Spanish and feared it would keep him off the varsity football team. - He paid a friend to take the exam for him. - Ted's friend, however, was recognized when he turned in the exam book. - Both lads were expelled, but were advised that they could apply for readmission in a year if they demonstrated responsible citizenship. - It was a shame and disgrace, but the family would manage to keep it a secret until Teddy ran for the Senate.
