...which is well enough, as far as it goes. But in spite of the "intellectualization" of football effected by Haughton, it is not always advisable to restrict our cerebral activity to the gridiron. The Yale Renaissance, or, as it has been put, Yale's Renascence, seems to be developing a new type of Harkness-brod intellectual who in not only interested in literature but is willing to admit it. He refers familiarly to "Bozzy", and has a library of finely bound books with uncut leaves; and he finds it good form to twit Steve Benet's "Wisdom". Nevertheless there...
Bequests to various institutions, including Colby, on condition that they have no football teams are examples of gifts carrying with them provisos which restrict their usefulness. In this case rejection is easy, but it is often more difficult to balance good against evil. Mr. Wilson, as president of Princeton, fought a hard fight before persuading the trustees to reject a gift offered on condition that certain radical changes be made in the educational methods.

...dependent almost wholly on the situation of a "fight to the finish" between union labor on one side and on the other an organization which is doing its best to get rid of an exclusively unionized labor. We have blamed, with reason, the Bethlehem Steel Company for seeking to restrict the sale of its steel to "open shop" builders, but it must be acknowledged that the offence of these manufacturers is mild compared with that of labor union officials who manage to unionize establishments merely in order that they may make great fortunes in bribes wrung from contractors and others...
