...Crimson had a Freshman team this year comparable to the standard Yale product. Eli depth, especially in the distances, will remain strong through the next two years. Two proven performers and several more potential stars will rise to the varsity ranks next winter, but this does not make the Crimson better than Yale...
...crown prince? Dr. Koizumi has supplied a remarkably candid summing up: "He is by no means an exceptional young man. But he will do. He is sincere, takes his responsibilities seriously, and he is a good thinker even if the process is sometimes painful. He is the product of his upbringing.

Addresses got shuffled, and the letter was sent to a venerable trust fund whose officers were considering (but immediately ceased to consider) a request to support the group's lofty scientific aims...
