...Hopkins, you run away with yourself when you say that these colleges are administered by "aristocrats of wealth who claim that they have certain privileges that the rest of us shall not have." Yale is doing all she can, you see, along your own lines of student aid, and if she turned your offer down, it was not because she had any lofty ideas about the evils of educating the poor, as such...
...they be made consistent "with a fair average of success in conflict?"

In setting forth the advantages of the Rugby rules and ball, we only ask a fair, impartial hearing from the Association...
...that in the last analysis education is for the privileged few who have money to go to college. . . I have no apologies to make to over-endowed private institutions that do not know what to do with their money. You find in this field. . . the aristocrats of wealth who claim that they have certain privileges that the best of us shall not have...
