We had in him a man not only of experience and ability, but one of the highest and most patriotic motives--a man above party animus or bias, above private interest, without concealments or prejudices.

In one New England college the course of lectures on ethical problems which a professor arranged for a series of Sunday night meetings proved so popular both among students and townspeople that the president of the college...
...change of ministry in such critical times is bound to be unfortunate, and France may well congratulate herself on the ability of her successive premiers to avoid the ill effects of changes in administration. But the day may not be so far distant when President Poincare may feel that the people are demanding Caillaux or some of his dark group or suspicious followers to control their destinies.
