...team playing away from home needs even more than the usual support. A real live cheering section at the Princeton game will increase the team's chances of success by a great margin. To date, only about one hundred and fifty applications for tickets at Princeton have been handed in, of which less than forty are in the cheering section. The man outside the cheering section is of no great help; he is an interested spectator, not a rooter...

A committee of these ex-scholars in each state will take the place of the presidents of the universities who have formerly chosen the scholars, but the committees in each case will be headed by some prominent college graduate...

In this capacity he establishes hospitals that save thousands of deaths every year and extinguishes plagues that produce untold tragedy. Or he may be an economist, educator or business man who works to make living conditions better in countries where people have difficulty in finding the wherewithal to live. The spirit of modern missions is one of service and reconstruction, not of dogmatism. The true missionary of today is well represented by Wilfred Grenfell, John R. Mott, and the man who speaks to us tonight, Alden Clark...
