 In 1924 Gerard Olivier , a habitually <unk> man , told his son that not only must he gain admission to the Central School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art , but he must also gain a scholarship with a <unk> to cover his tuition fees and living expenses . Olivier 's sister had been a student there and was a favourite of <unk> Fogerty , the founder and principal of the school . Olivier later speculated that it was on the strength of this that Fogerty agreed to award him the <unk> .
