Yale grad (3)
I believe the answer is:
eli
'yale grad' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for eli that I've seen before include "High priest in the Book of Samuel" , "Priest at Shiloh (Samuel)" , "OT high priest" , "Shiloh priest (Bible)" , "Man's name" .)
