First edition. 8vo. 64 pp. Gundelfinger's writings were intended warnings against a moral decline at Yale, exemplified by the consistent losing record in the school's football program. Gundelfinger (1884-1974) graduated from Yale's Sheffield School in 1906, earned a Ph.D. in math there in 1909, and taught in the school's Mathematics Department from 1909 to 1913; he later taught at the University of Pittsburgh and at Carnegie Institute of Technology; his campaign against Yale football lasted into the 1950s and included a lawsuit brought against him by the school in 1939.
