...Harvard has set a precedent that will reverberate on the intercollegiate horizon for some time to come. Designed to free Varsity and intra-mural sports forever from the somewhat hazardous support rendered by the box-office sports the latest addition to the Cambridge institution's bulwark against the taint of professionalism has set her on a pinnacle of amateurism reached by only a few hinterland teachers' colleges...
...logical and sane. Germany realizes that Harvard cannot enter into cordial relations with any educational institution controlled and oppressed by a government whose treatment of its educators has become notorious throughout the civilized world.

In short, these houses offer dissimilar and often impractical ways and means for levying the annual tribute...
...government that has done everything in its power to destroy the ideals of education for which Harvard has battled so long. Furthermore, Hanfstaengl's award was a travelling fellowship for study in Germany, while Mr. Dubinsky's gift comes free of all strings, for general college funds. Thus no taint of subscribing to ideals contrary to the free educational system can attach to Princeton if it accepts the gift...
