Plans of Samuel Williston Shor, '41, to purchase a Maryland university for his own private use fell through today with the denial of W. R. Flack, Dean of Blue Ridge College, New Windsor, Maryland, that the institution was for sale, or ever would be.
Flack termed the whole thing as a hoax, and said that he had no knowledge of the advertisement putting the college on the block which appeared recently in a New York newspaper. Shor ran across the ad two weeks ago, and in answer to his inquiries, received a letter signed by "W. R. Flack" which named $250,000 as the purchase price.
Shor contemplated buying the college outright so that he might "establish himself as the youngest college president in America."
