...college game remains to be seen. Some claim that it will injure its standing, while others maintain that it will be an aid to keeping interest up. Just now the college game appears to have gone beyond the control of the educational authorities, and there is a clamor in some quarters to curb the sport and place it on a rational basis. The subject is receiving considerable attention at Harvard University, and the daily paper of that college has even suggested that the professional game will do much to accomplish this...
Representing this point of view, the CRIMSON advocates a return to reason. What if the public clamors for its spectacles? Let it clamor! That is not the affair of the college. The mushroom growth of professional teams all over the country is an answer to the public cry. May they multiply and grow strong! Our primary concern, however, is not for the professionals.

...Gary unwittingly attracted much attention by inviting other steel gentlemen to take dinner with him occasionally to talk over the steel business.

Who is branded the college failure? Not the poor student, though he may be that too. He is branded a failure...
With such a standard obtaining--certainly the highest prevailing in any of the learned professions--it is small wonder that so many young men, from all walks of life, continue to make clamor today at the gates of our law schools and continue to seek, after gaining such training as they may, formal admission to the bar. Beyond question the real income which actually awaits many of the less competent and less highly trained men will never rise as high as the $18,634 average just now reported. We doubt very much whether the professional earnings...
