...course not all of this money is spent on supplies and wages alone. Nearly two thirds of the football expenditure goes as guarantees to the visiting teams.

Football on Soldiers Field is distinctly a commercial proposition, a fact which may strike home among the many alumni and others who, while supporting the weekly institution, still cry out about high-priced tickets, and over-emphasis...

...proposal to limit the "problems" to the locality of the particular college. In advocating what amounts to a vocational school for local politicians, the suggestions overlooks not only the essential purpose of a University but one of the most significant lessons of the present crisis. Universities should equip men with a foundation for future study and a broad perspective on which to base their thought on important questions. Never has the world felt a greater need for men with such training. In allowing one of its conclusions to be so highly colored by immediate reactions to a temporary exigency...
