A mn ARBOR, Mich, January %.
~ Prof. Ralph w. Angler, chair
~ man of the board in control of
athletics Of the University of
Michigan, in a letter to DR.. Howard j.
Savage of New York, author of bulletin
% of the Carnegie Foundation, accuses
DR.. Savage of having mo intention to be
fair and accurate" in the bulletin which
cites number Of colleges and univer-
sites as substituting" or recruiting"
athletes.
The letter, which was mailed yester-
day, is an answer to statements made
by DR.. Savage to newspapers after
Prof Aigler's annual report was pre-
sented to the university faculty Mon
day night. Prof. Angler gave out a copy
of the letter for publication today after
the original should have been delivered
to DIR. Savage.
Questions Tactics.
Prof. Aigler accuses DR.. Savage of
questionable tactics in sending TO the
president of the University of Michigan
a report of conditions at Ann Arbor
different from the report which he in
corporated in bulletin %, and of max
ing misleading differences in his report
of athletic conditions at Michigan. The
professor reiterates his accusation that
the investigator removed letters from
the files of the athletic department to
which he was allowed full access and
returned photostatic copies when the
originals were requested.
Prof. Aigler's letter follows:
81 have read in the newspapers of
yesterday afternoon and this morning
what purportS to be your comment upon
certain phases of my annual report.
You make the following points: First,
that you were given the choice between
returning our original letters, and
sending copies thereof; second. that a
statement as to what would appear in
the bulletin, regarding Michigan, was
sent to the president Of the university
nine months ago; third, that your
charge In the bulletin regarding writers
was to be read as applicable to more
than the one university named in the
parenthesis Immediately following.
It Is not my desire to enter into a
prolonged controversy. I merely would
observe that your first statement is I'M
true, that your second is only partially
true and that your third depends upon
matter Of Interpretation Of language
used in the bulletin.
Unfairness Charged.
eff you will note the language of the
letter in which you were asked about
our letters, copies are spoken of only in
connection with the possibility that you
may not have the originals. It is true
that you sent a statement of certain
things that were to appear in the bulle-
tin to President Little CDR. Clarence
Cook Little, former president of the
University of Michigan, and that recent
thereof was acknowledged by the assist
ant to the president. II you will read
the material you sent you will find that
the charges made In the bulletin to
which We particularly object were not
stated. AS to the matter of substituting
writer's would say that I am very
much In doubt whether any reader Of
your bulletin would get the impression
that as to Michigan you did not mean
that there were at least several such
instances.
"As I have said to you before, I do
not anticipate that am going to con-
vince you of anything. If you are cor
rectly quoted in the newspaper &C
counts, you have merely furnished evil
dence to bear me out that you have no
intention to be fair and accurate"
