What happens
Dr. William Todd Hunter Hall, president of Ivy College, faces a donation offer from Mike Malat, a wealthy bookmaker who wants his son Eddie Gray admitted to a fraternity. Hall refuses the money on principle after Malat tries to buy special privilege, then meets Eddie, who feels isolated among the college's other students. Hall's wife Victoria encourages the young man, and Eddie agrees to prepare a magic act for a school show. The Halls of Ivy is a radio comedy series, and this episode aired on NBC Radio on January 20, 1950, starring Ronald Colman and Willard Waterman.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
