"I regret to learn that Professor George H. Nettleton has resigned as Chairman of the Yale Board of Athletic Control Frank in all his dealings, honest in all of his motives, cooperating with unselfish judgment, he has sought in every instance to arrive at decisions which were mutually acceptable to Yale and its opponents.
