...hugely difficult. For one, the University proposes rapidly to extend on a large scale its existing facilities for supervision and guidance. This is hardly enough. This would amount to the institution of tutoring merely to compete with that in the Square; and not even on equal terms, since its scope would be more limited...
...from the one before the World War. Citizens of that pre-War world had no knowledge of what lay ahead of them, had no historical precedent for the tragedy toward which they were moving, and even the statesmen who tried to avert it had no conception of its terrible scope. On the evening of Aug. 3, 1914, when Great Britain pondered war, Sir Edward Grey stood at the window of the Foreign Office, watching the lamps being lit in the summer dusk, and said: "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again...

Dr. Coon believes that the species Homo sapiens-modern man-evolved as early as the middle of the Pleistocene, or even earlier.† The first known white representatives were short men with long heads. Some of them blended with bulky Neanderthaloid types, produced a fairly stable hybrid group. After the Pleistocene's end these hybrids survived in Europe as hunters and fishers. Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean area a race...

Its scope is grander, the facilities are more equal to the demands, the coaching is better, the spirit of competition is keener, the participation is larger. The elusive fire-fly of "athletics for all" will for once be captured. There will be a decisive de-emphasis of sports if by emphasis is meant playing to win--for the old grads and the Sunday columnists. There will be new emphasis in the sense of athletics for sport and for physical gain...
