...managed Senator Hiram Johnson's abortive attempt to take the Republican nomination. Silk hats were everywhere in the stand, even Dick Jervis, the tall, the handsome head of the White House Secret Service men, was wearing one. There were a few exceptions. Senator Pat Harrison, for example, wore a broad brimmed black felt...
...true that the point at issue in recent discussions has been "whether Harvard can be simultaneously pre-eminent in scholarship and athletics." It is truer to say that alumni have become fearful that Harvard's broad tradition of scholarship and culture is being sacrificed to the more specialized development of the tutorial system and of certain graduate schools.

Even the Boston American sees the absurdity of this movement, and gently pokes...

But while the dissemination of knowledge has done a great deal it has not done all that was hoped for it. The Guggenheim scholarships are designed not for the students but for the study they may do, and they reflect the awakening...
