...interview with the Khan of men at University Hall. I was perfectly frank with him. I do not intend to be bound by examinations and tests. This whole scheme of sampling information is preposterous. A man's knowledge is his own property and it is outrageous to expect him to spill it out in blue books for the benefit of any dolt-headed instructor. And besides, I am not going to leave any data here to help these hirelings of the Boston bankers, as Upton Sinclair so well puts it, start another Boston police strike...

And chess will remain a noble game when the last goal post has rotted and the last pigskin has burst. To make chess less than football is to make...
