Listen to the interview:

Leo: "I think Suffield Academy prepared me quite well [for Dartmouth] but I don’t think I applied myself that well. My grades were only fair…Being in a prep school you were confined into a little cocoon type of thing … [where] your headmaster and his entourage look after you and make sure you're doing this and doing that and so forth. You get to college and there is no one like that around … you just do … whatever you feel like doing. And I think sometimes you overdo it."
