...importance which the whole question has assumed is, in view of the actual situation, entirely out of proportion to the results which it is supposed would be accomplished by its solution. An essential element in the successful running of any branch of college athletics is complete harmony and co-operation between coach and captain.

And so though the more conservative element of the country was shocked by the recent action of a Chicago surgeon, who decided to allow a baby to die rather than perform an operation that would have given it a life of helpless misery, the incident but illustrates one of the big problems that physicians everywhere are being called upon to face in a new light.
