...chance for every man--though his ability may be decidedly limited--to enjoy the national game. This year the teams playing in the series will be closely watched for University material, and the aspiring first baseman of the Pingdingers may suddenly find himself elevated to the University squad. But even if a man does not hope to be drafted by the majors in this fashion, he will find the Leiter Cup series good exercise and good...
This inefficiency was recently brought out strikingly in a test applied in the Graduate School of Business Administration. That this incapacity for clear expression should appear so markedly in the Business School, is even more surprising, for only graduates of approved colleges,--men representing the upper strata of mental ability--are accepted.
