 Clevenger emphasized before recommending the code. that there was no enforcement clause in the code, and that the N. c. A. A. was not trying to act in the role of a policeman. He said the code had been drawn to furnish a measuring stick for the various institutions so that they would know what was justifiable ,d unjustifiable in ob- taininG and aiding student athletes.
 Major John l.. Griffith, of Chi cago, president of the N. c. A. A., who presided at the meeting, made an indirect defense of the purity of college athletics in his opening ad- dress. He said he thought athlet- les had kept pace with other sys- tems such as business, education. and the various professions in its ethics during the years of depres- sion.i He said no one attempted to say that the collegiate athletic sys- tems were perfect as yet. but that they were making progress and that their attempt to draw up this code reflected the same desire for fair competition as actuated the nation's business men when they were drawing up their codes.
