 Hotchkiss in the Fifties: Myths and Realities
As for anti-semitism at Hotchkiss in general, he offers us the classic bad-apple-in-every-barrel dodge: "To be sure, in a group of people as large as that at Hotchkiss, there were bound to be some out-and-out bigots" (268).
Hotchkiss, in many ways designed to mimic Yale (e.g., both school songs are to the tune of "Wacht am Rhein" -- the song sung by Germans in a dramatic scene in the film Casablanca), clearly did nothing to resist Yale's anti-semitism.
The school principal whimsically had looked for currently 'newsworthy' eminence and came up with Robert Moses, S'52, the SNCC philosopher-saint of the civil rights movement of the sixties, and Eric Lander, S'74, who'd been first in his class at Stuyvesant, then at Princeton, and is now a Harvard mathematician and geneticist, a MacArthur Fellow.

But there is this stage and a long, heavy, red curtain from which Marienne Hotchkiss (Mary Steenburgen) emerges and evokes the memory of her long deceased mother to help carry on the magic of the dance and charm school.
"Hotchkiss" is about Frank Keane (Robert Carlyle) who wakes every morning to greet his wife's burial urn on a dresser beside what appears to be the ashes of their departed family dog.
