This is the gist of an argument as familiar as it is logical--pathetically logical because pragmatic considerations engulf the ideal. It is a stirring claim that for the good of society the college should provide for these men. But, disregarding the physical difficulties of a rapid expansion, the services involved would cost a great deal of money. And in the minds of any college governing board, the responsibility to regular undergraduate and graduate students, a responsibility which it is infinitely difficult to maintain intact in times of depression, is more urgent from the point of view of proximity...

The immediate future seems to offer exceptional opportunities by those equipped with a broad but also thoroughly grounded view of amental forces...
...last year's trials throughout the South, pointers won so regularly that the old pointer v. setter argument seemed academic long before Edward R. Coleman's pointer Susquehanna Tom won the Grand National. In minor meets this winter, setters have won almost as many firsts as pointers but pointers have won the more important prizes. Of the 16 dogs entered for the Grand National, run last week over the Ames Plantation near Grand Junction, Tenn., only two were setters and the favorite, if there was one, was Walter C. Teagle's white & liver pointer, Norias...
