...burst of righteous enthusiasm the University pledged some $50,000 to the Y. M. C. A. Red Triangle Fund. That was several months ago and the Fund still lacks $4,000 of the promised sum. There is only one thing that can be done and that is pay up immediately.

A Le Gore, a Mahan, a Howard Miller, a Hobey Baker, does more to stimulate the average student to emulate the example of these stars in ways however humble than any amount of theoretical dogma designed to show that athletic exercise in the open air is good...
