...action may have a great importance from our own point of view, nonetheless. Again, I must speak a word of caution. The United States will not be making a great sacrifice for peace when it gives the support which is being proposed. We can now go before the Court with a dispute if the other party agrees.

The real issue is whether American colleges shall remain colleges in the older meaning of the word, or whether they shall cease to be such, to become the modern counterpart of the Roman circus as dispensers of spectacular entertainment to the public. Woodrow Wilson once said with truth that athletics were the "side shows of academic life". Today football tends to become the main show. Good sense calls...
