...street, would have said that Detroit was "dead," "flat" or at least very quiet. But that would be because the Ford factories were shut down and production was at a low ebb in many another plant. Actually there was intense invisible activity-as in a huge household of which the important members had all shut themselves in their rooms to wrap up Christmas presents, cautiously guarding their keyholes against prying children (newspaper reporters) and fretting in secret over finishing touches to their gifts. The largest manufacturing industry in the U. S., the automotive, was preparing its annual surprises...
...that saying. Its own stability was implied by its possession of a car for every pocketbook-Cadillac, Buick, Oakland, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet; of specialties and accessories- Yellow Cab and Coach, G. M. C. Truck, Delco Light, Fisher Body, Jackson Wheel, A. C. Spark Plug, Harrison Radiator; and of the huge sideline, Frigidaire, which ranked only after Buick and Chevrolet as an earner this year...

Its conclusions were the more remarkable in that the work has been done in a year and a half (the United Church was inaugurated June 10, 1925); they were convincing in that their recorder...
...hockey of $309, and the rifle team of $39. Baseball, track, crew, basketball, fencing, lacrosse, polo, soccer", squash, swimming, tennis, and wrestling are all of them almost wholly supported by the revenue of intercollegiate football. The vicious circle at once becomes apparent. Successful football teams and huge stadia to house them form a business activity in which no college can afford to fall. Upon the shoulders of eleven men rests the physical development and health of the whole development and health of the whole undergraduate body. And since the development of bodily health has become a recognized duty...
