Never one to take care of himself, he had been suffering for years from the cumulative effects of tropical diseases, concussions, bee stings and snakebites.

As I was one of the undergraduate signers of the letter endorsing Jack Reardon and Baaron Pittenger, and as that was the most arrogant and offensive part of the article in my view, I shall begin there. The author was kind enough to first point out why we thought we wrote the letter, i.e., to prevent the appointment of "an outsider who would de-emphasize the intercollegiate athletic program." Fair enough. He then, however...
