Fatal Injuries

Two deaths occur in American football on November 25. Henry MacCracken, chancellor of New York University, where one of the fatal injuries occurred, invites the nineteen colleges NYU has played since 1895 to a conference on December 8, aiming to abolish or at least reform American football. Camp persuades the rules committee to meet December 9, the day after the MacCracken conference, and develops a plan for Yale’s position during that meeting. While Camp is out of town, Alice communicates the plan to Yale’s President Hadley, who summarizes it in a memo and apparently approves. Roosevelt meets with Harvard’s coach and appears supportive of unspecified actions being taken at Harvard (possibly, as later events suggest, proposals being developed by Harvard’s special committee).

Rules Committee

With a public clamor growing against mass play in American football, Camp proposes to force more open play by requiring an advance of ten yards instead of five yards in three downs. Other rules-committee members argue additional game methodology is needed to make ten yards more attainable, such as weakening the defense by requiring defensive ends to be five yards back of the line at snapback, which Camp rejects as artificial and ineffective. Others suggest forward passing, which Camp also opposes. With unanimity required by the rules committee in its rules decisions, meaningful committee action is prevented, and the committee is severely criticized. At Harvard, in an effort to keep football alive in spite of new Eliot criticisms, a special committee is formed to propose rule changes.

Value Measure

© 2020 New York University Perceived value among children is an important concept in consumer decisions, yet surprisingly no research has operationalized value for this consumer group. To address this omission, and following the guidelines of DeVellis (2016), this investigation reports the findings of a seven-stage process to develop a valid and reliable instrument for measuring perceived value among children aged 8–14 years. Value for children is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct capturing perceptions of what is received and what is given up, which differs from adult measures in terms of its composition and complexity. A 24-item scale is developed that shows internal consistency, reliability, construct validity, and nomological validity. We also demonstrate the validity of the new scale beyond an existing adult perceived value measure. Directions for future research and managerial implications of the new scale for studying children's consumer behavior are discussed.
