...have had two very happy days. This is a good climax. As my classmate Hill said in the CRIMSON this morning, I have been a shy and reserved person,' and like a real New Englander, somewhat inexpressive, I fear. In the first twenty years of my service here I was generally conscious of speaking to men who, to say the least, did not agree with me. That was the case not only in the Faculties of the University, but also in the Board of Overseers and in such educational assemblies as I addressed. But for the last fifteen years...

This did not include freshman athletics or the minor sports, such as basketball, hockey and tennis. It is therefore no exaggeration to set Yale's financial receipts from athletics at $100,000 a year. Of this amount about $79,000 was received from gate receipts alone...
