That's really interesting. I've never heard that before. There was an episode of "Chuck" in the first season where the same thing is taking place at Stanford. There were always rumors of this type of thing at Yale, especially after WWII - a LOT of OSS veterans were Harvard and Yale grads. I guess the CIA has to recruit from somewhere.
