...religion is largely personal and depends not on institutions like the church, or on the Bible, but on Christ as He is there described. At the same time even today in spite of His revelation to the world, He is the mystery of our religion. Although in the present age we are inclined to look as much as possible to exact science, we are forced to admit that we can not understand the world or even our own lives.

Nor will it be any easier for men whose livelihood or fame or animal gratifications do not depend upon the game, to disagree with his verdict that it is "unfit for college use." In this be speaks as the educator, mindful of his duty to the young men under his care and to their parents; farther on he speaks as an American citizen who would not see the intellectual and moral...
