Last week the American Council on Education made an angry, 100-page attack on U.S. "diploma mills," which have run a carefree con game around the globe for more than a century.

Halfback Larry Repsher gathered in the kickoff, scampered up the sidelines to the 40 yard line, and set off a scoring drive which put the game happily out of reach. Charlie Ravenel accounted for the last 12 yards with an electrifying sprint off left tackle...
