two athletic directors and two distinguished alumni also discussed their colleges at greater length at half-time: President Donald Hornig of Brown; President William McGill of Columbia; Jon Anderson, Director of Athletics at Cornell; President John Kemeny of Dartmouth; Editor and Board Chairman of Newsweek Osborn Elliott, for Harvard: Michael Burke, Part-owner of the New York Yankees, for Penn; President William Bowen of Princeton; DeLaney Kiphuth, Director of Athletics at Yale.
The essential theme of their talks was the status of sport in an atmosphere where scholarship comes first. In their words:
"An urban campus has allof the tensions of thecity, but it also has all theadvantages of the city'scultural life. These youngfellows have to finish theirclasses at 4 in the afternoon, get into a bus, comeup here and practice until dark ... Physical sport isa contribution to the people we work with, but aColumbia athlete is a scholar first and an athletesecond. Archie Roberts, a great Columbia quarterback, is a physician in Cleveland. Instead of negotiating a deal [with the Cleveland Browns] for ahouse and a car, he negotiated an arrangementwhereby he could go to professional school."
