Once close friends (and now both dead), Tizard and Lindemann turned to public power after failing to reach the first rank in pure science. They had little else in common. Chemist Tizard, who at times "looked like a highly intelligent and sensitive frog," was the outgoing, very English son of a regular navy officer. The "very odd and very gifted" Physicist Lindemann was "repressed, suspicious, malevolent." A fanatic Englishman-by-adoption, he was a fierce ascetic who shunned sensual pleasures. Snow recalls him as "an extreme and cranky vegetarian who lived largely on the whites of eggs,† Port Salut...
Quarterback: Norman Snead, 21, Wake Forest; 6 ft. 4 in., 208 Ibs. Although Snead was snubbed by the wire-service All-Americas, the pros call him "a pure passer" with the advantage of enough height to look over the offensive line.

As a sportswriter working and traveling with a team, one meets alumni who are fanatically interested in athletics. One is told such things as, "Why don't you drop up and see So-and-So sometime? I got him in here on the assumption that he would go out for such-and-such a sport, but he hasn't. Maybe if you talked to him..." Why is a coach any worse than an alumnus with this attitude...
...nowadays, many still require chapel and religion courses. Liberal education is the primary task at hand, not religious indoctrination. About half the professors in each hold doctorates-well above the national average. Big universities, when raiding small campuses for staff, tend to steal researchers. The schools listed are largely pure teaching institutions, a boon to "late bloomers...
