...advocation of a closer connection between the coach and the student body by means of a position on the faculty is sound, and is already a necessity in the poorer schools because of less altruistic principles.

From 1923-24 through 1928-29 the School supported the study out of its unrestricted income, and the University...

Although the present acquisition does not solve all of the financial problems of the school, it does aid the situation considerably and points to the possibility of a brighter future...
