...minor sports at Harvard are going to be kept on a basis that is satisfactory to the undergraduates that participate in them, ways and means will have to be found to finance them. The present solution of a reduced budget is at best a temporary one, since the standard of coaching is bound to suffer in the long run as well as the interest shown in the sports themselves. A compulsory participation ticket costing the Freshmen ten dollars would redistribute the financial burden more equally and satisfactorily among the college, since at present the Yardlings pay nothing for the privilege...

But nothing in his statement or in his speech before the mob of students cleared him of the implication of countenancing interference for purely personal reasons. Most of the members of the board of regents appointed by Governor La Follette voted...
