...attempt the former of these would be paradoxical in two ways. First, the ultimate aim of the plan is to "de-emphasize" sport, particularly in its commercial aspects, yet this can hardly be done if "gates" are to be the source for the endowment. Secondly, the whole problem arises from lack of income, and to suppose that it can be overcome by using surplus to build up a capital is almost absurd.

The boy and the girl meet in an insane asylum where he (Charles Boyer) is the superintendent and she (Claudette Colbert) a diligent psychiatrist...

The group so favored was entitled the privilege ostensibly because of the work it has done in the field of progressive education; but the problem raised by its selection over others will require delicate handling...
