...full schedule for a light weight eleven if it decided to have one. Time would have to be taken to bring the new idea to the attention of other colleges and more time would have to go by while they were considering it. If, on the other hand, there existed today some athletic conference made up of New England colleges, the whole matter could be discussed thoroughly and either approved or rejected within a much shorter comparative time. That such a conference does not exist today seems ridiculous, but it does not, and as a result if Mr. Bingham decided...

A friendly classroom atmosphere is one of the most powerful influences on child character. "Moving pictures do not contribute to delinquency," said Philadelphia's Phyllis Blanchard.
