Sports Build Character Rhodes Tells Rotarians
Mayor James A. Rhodes of Columbus urged competitive sports as a sign of American freedom and a tool for character building at the Athens Rotary meeting. He warned taxpayers to defend public schools and universities from anti freedom influences and foreign "isms" in education and athletics. Rhodes cited Ohio Olympians in London and argued free athletics foster talent and national pride, noting Ohio hosts more higher learning institutions than Europe. The event drew leaders including John Baker, Gordon K. Bush, Rev Harold Kellogg, Theodore T. Smith, Homer Clark, Tom May, Budd Burbaker, and Rotarian Fred W. Weber introducing Rhodes.
