...especially as it is, in my opinion, without much foundation. There has been a lot of talk about favoritism and society influence and it has spread abroad to such an extent that the reputation of the College has already suffered and will. I fear, suffer still more. Every Harvard man should do what he can to stop such reports unless he believes they are true.

This selected head must have the undivided responsibility of the entire football policy, and once selected...
