IOWA STATE STUDENT NOVEMBER, 1921 "U. of Iowa Daily HE following article has been requested by several business men and others, to be put in the Student with a few appropriate remarks. True school spirit, of the kind to be desired in every school, was recently exemplified by President David Kinley of the University of Illinois in a note of appreciation to the Illinois football squad, a team which won but a single conference game. It reads: "Some people think that football is not quite within the scope of the thought of the president of the university,'' Dr. Kinley wrote the gridiron men. "However, I do not think so. I am interested in all things that the students and faculty are interested in, although I cannot find time or strength to express that interest on every occasion. "Of course, things in life are of different degrees of importance, but all together go to make up life; so in the university. "Nevertheless, I am sure that most people will agree with me in thinking that the qualities of character which you all have shown this fall in your football contests deserve the highest praise. I am greatly delighted with the result of the season because of the fine spirit you have shown—that spirit of unconquerable determination which led you to do your best under trying circumstances and finally to win a spectacular and brilliant victory in the last contest of the season. The spirit you have shown is the spirit that wins success and serves the world. I congratulate you on possessing it.
