...Another bad feature of the plan is that some minor sports which are to be made inter-House sports will probably die out because of an insufficient number of players in each House to make up a team.

It is necessary somehow to force the lids off the sewer holes, to shine the light of day on the putrefaction within. The University must be made to examine itself. For recognition of the amazing whole and its details can surely have only one result: steps toward extermination...
