As a citizen of Ohio I always have had the greatest respect and admiration for our State Uni versity as an institution of learning, for the achievements of its various departments, and for its athletic prowess. As Governor of Ohio it will be a most pleasant task to do all within the limits of my power to extend every facility of the University and lend every encouragement to its Athletic Department. I always have been a lover of clean sports of every kind and it is a promise to myself that there will t e few home games of the various teams representing The Ohio State University that I will not attend.
