...athletics will do their best to find a lower level than the one they now occupy. No doubt such a task would be difficult but it is within the range of possibility. Many may say that the non-athletic men don't know about such things and had better use their power of speech on a subject with which they are more conversant. This is, we are convinced, a wrong view.

...Schaeffer, who has been Dean of the Faculty for the past year, has resigned the position and accepted the presidency of the Iowa State University. The Cornell Christian Association has received a gift of $40,000 from Mr. A. S. Barnes, with which to build a hall for its use...
