...themselves independent of victory or defeat. Harvard has had many captains who have done these things, but few who have done them as disinterestedly as Goodrich. His final act of self effacement, however necessary it may have seemed to him and to the coaches, can but add to the respect which is felt for him. An undergraduate seldom has a harder thing to do. Resignation before success, setting aside the chance so cagerly looked forward to, of making one more effort, is bitter.

His unselfish service to the University, continued without interruption after his graduation, taught successive classes of undergraduates to admire and respect him as a pattern of all that is best in the athletic side of college life, while his breadth of character, and his quiet, steady success in other fields, gave great promise of a useful career in the future...
