...attempt the former of these would be paradoxical in two ways. First, the ultimate aim of the plan is to "de-emphasize" sport, particularly in its commercial aspects, yet this can hardly be done if "gates" are to be the source for the endowment.

It seems essential that we should have an athletic policy which will aim at removing the danger which now hangs over our head like a sword of Damocles,--the danger of another drastic loss of Income from the football gate receipts which have since the war provided on the average more than 80 per cent of our income for athletics...
