Resignation of Mr. Garcelon...
Yesterday morning the CRIMSON mentioned in its editorial comment on last year's Athletic Association report, Mr. Garcelon's suggestion that half-course credit be given a major sport manager. We wish today to analyze the idea more closely. "If efficiency for work in after life is one of the objects of a college course, the college authorities can well consider the question of giving a young man taking his three-year course (i.e. as Second Assistant, Assistant, and University Manager) under the direction of the Graduate Treasurer, a credit of half a course toward his degree. It ought...
Under present conditions, therefore, such recognition is undesirable and for that matter unlikely. But Mr. Garcelon's proposition involves a decided change.

For this the present rough-and-ready duties of the position might very properly be considered laboratory work. Such a course, however, would...

...more feature of the report must be mentioned. Mr. Garcelon has proposed that the managers of the major sports be given a half-course credit for managerial work. Manifestly, as he says, the experience gained in running a team such as football or baseball or track is as valuable in one way as anything men derive from regular college work. It teaches business efficiency and a knowledge of men. But it is not a training which belongs in the ordinary college curriculum. It is rather a Graduate Business School Course, which might be recognized there, as Professor Hart hopes...
