...field trips, team managing, and possibly bicycling as well as for participation in Naval and Military Science, and Varsity and House athletics. Apparently the compulsory athletics plan is no exception to the University's well known policy of act first and plan later.

He cannot destroy a budding artist nor stir up a nation-wide controversy at the drop of a single deadly phrase. Yet this seeming impotence should, by allowing more freedom than usual for expressing opinions and throwing weight around, make college reviewing more "provocative" (as they say in the book reviews), even if it does occasionally swing...
