William C. Dowling is University Distinguished Professor of English and American Literature at Rutgers University.
"Universities exist to transmit understanding and ideals and values to students... not to provide entertainment for spectators or employment for athletes.... When I entered a much smaller Rutgers sixty years ago, athletics were an important but strictly minor aspect of Rutgers education. I trust that today's much larger Rutgers will honor this tradition from which I benefited so much." - Milton Friedman, Rutgers '32, Nobel Prize in Economics, 1976"
