...personality first--whose work, at least at particular times of the year, would be to advise--and nothing else,--is an idealistic solution. What would be the balance of such a man's occupation at the University--if any--is a difficult question to answer, and there is not space here to go into details...
Agitation for reform in college sports contains both wheat and chaff--and a considerable amount of each. Too much publicity is one charge.
