It is impossible for the captain to discover all men of any promise, no matter how constantly he busies himself. He needs and requests that all members of the University should take the matter to heart, and, if they know men with any ability at all, to inform him in regard to them.

There are men now connected with the University who have seen tricks, first played by Harvard teams, taken up by Yale and years after worked successfully against later Harvard teams. We must have some way of profiting...
...believes that, beyond dispute, men who intend to devote their lives to teaching should acquaint themselves somewhat with this matter. There is a very general inclination to take it for granted that, provided a man knows, he can make known.
