...dean of the Business School as long as Dean Gay continues his work in Washington, but at the end of that time will resign his position in favor of Dean Gay. It is expected that the latter will continue to serve on the council throughout the duration of the war, and possibly in reconstruction work after the conclusion of the war...
...interest in rowing here was entirely negligible. Judging by numbers, this is doubtless true. But it is obviously hard to get men out during the winter to row on the monotonous machines when there is small prospect of there being any crew worth while making. Everybody says that during war time it is the duty of the colleges to keep the maximum number of men at athletics in order to improve their physical condition.

In football the informal system worked tolerably well, but everyone realized that something fundamental was lacking. There was no demand...
...Baseball and possibly track could be dragged out along informal lines, but to try to have an informal crew would be the heighth of absurdity. Two facts argue strongly for intercollegiate games. The first is that the President of the United States and the leading men of the War Department advocate them. Second, the colleges which have maintained an intercollegiate system have not shown that their patriotic fervor or their interest in their nation's affairs has waned, while their athletics have been much more substantial and have done more good for a greater number...
