I grew up in Dublin. I'm offended by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Make them change to the 'peaceful paddies'! Waaaah!
NCAA president's address while still pres at Indiana University. This is all you need to know about Brand.
In a commencement titled entitled “Making a Moral Difference” at Atlanta’s Oglethorpe University in 2003, Myles Brand, who had just assumed the role of president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association quoted Jane Addams. He read, “To attain individual morality in an age of demanding social morality, to pride one’s self on the results of personal effort when the time demands social adjustment, is utterly to fail to apprehend the situation.”
He went on to quote socialist and supporter of women’s suffrage, Mary Heaton Vorse, who said in her book A Footnote to Folly: “When a new idea assaults the power of established authority, authority always screams out that morality has been affronted. It makes no difference if this idea is that the world is round or that women should vote or that the workers should control industry.”
I'm still waiting for the University of Pittsburgh Polacks and the CUNY-Staten Island Guineas myself.
