...into politics will be condemned to a certain extent to the same delays and disappointments that will attend him going into business or professional life. He will not be able to impress his personality immediately on great numbers of experienced men; he will not be able to achieve the millenium in a minute; he will have a hard time making even desirable changes. It will be slow work. Anybody can sit at a desk and create Utopias ad lib. We must remember that the law stating that momentum equals mass times velocity applies as well in politics as in physics...

But the events of the last four years have been showing more and more clearly what he had in mind, and what qualities a nation must possess, even in this 20th century itself, in order even to live. Perhaps the millenium will some time come, but it is manifest that today bravery and physical qualities are essential to the very life and existence of any nation. This is the reason why we must make our men--all of them--more fit and enduring, more able to withstand hardships. Our college athlete...
