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