Movie Quote of the Day (Groucho Marx, on Misplaced Collegiate Priorities)

“And I say to you gentlemen that this college is a failure. The trouble is we're neglecting football for education.”—Professor Quincy Adams Wagstaff (played by Groucho Marx) to the faculty of Huxley College, in HorseFeathers (1932), written by Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby, S.J. Perelman, Will B. Johnstone, and Arthur Skeekman  (uncredited)

Judging from TaylorBranch’s cover story in the new issue of The Atlantic, more and more college presidents are coming to agree with Groucho’s line.
