...badly hurt,--and had to stay out of school for a year with a bad foot, and I think that accident made him very patient and very kind and thoughtful of other people.

He was closer to me than anybody else, and I loved him as my best friend and brother. And now he has been killed...
...Pierpont Morgan's valuable collection of embellished manuscripts, which represent the art of many countries from the ninth to the 16th centuries.

...only say what my own four boys did is what I believe to be the best policy. I am exceedingly proud of the course which they followed and the cause for which they are fighting. "If I had my way, every young man from 19 to 21 years of age would be put into a training camp forthwith and required to go into the army when he was 21 and permitted to do so if he proved fit for such service before he was 21.
