After working for many years at the University of Chicago, Arthur Holly Compton returned to St. Louis in 1946 to serve as Washington University's ninth chancellor. Compton reestablished the Washington University football team, making the declaration that athletics were to be henceforth played on a "strictly amateur" basis with no athletic scholarships. Under Compton’s leadership, enrollment at the University grew dramatically, fueled primarily by World War II veterans' use of their GI Bill benefits.
If it is possible to answer this question, answer it for me (else, reply "unanswerable"): What declaration did Arthur Holly Compton make about athletics at Washington University?
athletics were to be henceforth played on a "strictly amateur" basis with no athletic scholarships.
