THE PROGRESS OF OUR UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

In 1926 Dartmouth College was invited to play in the Rose Bowl. In declining, its President said something to the effect of, "As it is, too much of the academic year is wasted on football, and I won't approve wasting more of it."

Consequently, the University of Alabama, unworried, even at this date, about academics (The NCAA recently called Alabama's record of rule compliance "abysmal" and says it is "the very worst" in this aspect.), was then invited, accepted, won, and backed into one of the "national championships" about which it is so proud.

Notice the difference in college presidential thought today; those of Boise State and Ohio State are squabbling about which team plays the tougher football schedule! Another reason our country, like the sun, sinks slowly into the West.
