Veteran in Back of June Drop In Requirement for Athletics

Never underestimate the power of a veteran," is probably the moral behind this story behind the story of the decrease in athletic requirements announced in June. Inside sources reveal that a veteran was behind it all.

Seems he'd been recently discharged from the Army Air Corps after overseas duty and had returned to Harvard to find civilians going through the same hup-two-three-four he'd grubbed through in basic training. So he went up to University Hall and registered a few complaints in the rights places. Harvard officialdom recognized that students who were Juniors. and Seniors didn't stand much chance of being drafted any more and didn't need toughening up so much, and the four hours a week routine was chucked.
