'Beyond the call of duty'

Walter Camp as Yale's football captain in 1878

“There’s no substitute for hard work and effort beyond the call of duty.’’

— Walter Camp (1859-1925), often called “The Father of American football.’’ His first fame came as a player and later as the coach of Yale’s football team. He was in on the beginnings of what became the Ivy League (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, Brown, the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell and Columbia).

There will be no Ivy League football this fall because of COVID-19.
