Consequently, when I am about to rush you a cancellation of my subscription I am brought to a pause by the discovery that you agree with me on so many points, and are consequently fair and unbiased, that I make haste to withdraw my cancellation...
They only want to relieve football of an unfair responsibility which leads to undesirable evils. Harvard is in no position to accomplish this task alone. Princeton and Yale must meet this situation unflinchingly and take constructive action, such as Harvard's new endowment policy...
