“You’re going off to the University of Michigan was a result of your gymnastics scholarship. If I have to, I will transfer you to Spring Arbor where we planned on sending you in the first place.

“We had this discussion before we made the decision to let you go to Michigan. I trust it will be the last time. Let’s keep this thing about your drinking between us. I don’t want to worry your mother.”
