VI. CONCLUSION

Since a brief summary was written for each of the five divisions of this re-
port, there is little that can be said on an over-all basis. The survey was under-
taken by the Central Office for Eastern Intercollegiate Athletics as a means of col-
lecting, correlating and disseminating information on what the nation's 600 plus
colleges were accomplishing in the field of sports-for-defense. Its purpose was to
acquaint athletic authorities at all the colleges with the moves being made on the
other campuses. The material in the foregoing pages will serve as the basis for judg-
ing how well these ends have been achieved.

The 157 replies brought individual wont that everywhere there is a growing
consciousness of the importance to a nation of young men who are physically equipped
to give their best. The proper mental attitude is a co-product of such an accomplish-
ment. Together they will make it possible for this country to benefit by the well-
known military axiom that "Morale is to material as three is to one", The path of the

college athletic association toward attaining this goal is clearly defined.
