...Chicago steelman who took over the general managership of Subsistence Homesteads when its original director, Milburn Lincoln Wilson, moved to the Department of Agriculture. Afterward the APer filed a dispatch quoting Manager Pynchon to the effect that the Government stood to lose $500,000 on the Reedsville project, with blame laid partly on "experimentation," partly on "errors in judgment."

You cannot blame the schoolboy star; you cannot blame the coach; but you can blame the institution which makes recruiting a condition of your employment. What will be the effect on the college?
