There, he claims, he will keep the master print and destroy all the copies-except for one. It, naturally, will be submitted to the Library of Congress...
...Williams' view, life is an insensate jest in which a man is gradually divested of everything that makes life precious, except the gallantry to go on, the one rock-bottom value that Williams never relinquishes.

What has the Ivy League ever done for the NCAA in this country. except to complain anytime it thought its precious, god-al-mighty interests were being endangered. We need more schools like Ohio State. whose athletes and athletic program are a credit to the American collegiate tradition. What we don't need is young men like you. who use a newspaper to spout off radical beliefs and distort the facts...
