...must have athletic for all in the colleges now, and I know that at Harvard and Yale that is the trend of the day. You can hear it on all sides and you can see that the students want it by reading their college papers. Everybody should be out playing, building up his body. We shouldn't spend our time developing a man to jump six feet when we have a thousand men who can't jump four feet.

They do it at Devens, not for an hour, but for hours at a time. They have been doing...
