Huh interesting because 2 minutes of reading the wikipedia page says the opposite.

It says he was denied because of jewish quota's, which were to prevent universities from having too many jewish people.

"'In 1935 Yale accepted 76 applicants from a pool of 501. About 200 of those applicants were Jewish and only five got in.' He notes that Dean Milton Winternitz's instructions were remarkably precise: 'Never admit more than five Jews, and take no blacks at all'"

That doesn't sound very affirmative then, if they only wanted a token amount of Jews.

Capping admissions of ethnic groups in order to admit other ethnic groups is indeed the application of affirmative action.
