...central question is "how long before some administration will 'pack' the Court to affect decisions on the issue of liberty itself," it is obviously not only his right but his duty to speak. If, however, the implications are not as broad as this, he may rather be doing free education a disservice and banking the fires of intolerance. The Roosevelt measure will have far reaching effect, but many will deny that it can be considered primarily as a threat to the educational principles for which President Conant and Harvard stand. The result of entering the political lists when the institution...
...clock this afternoon there will descend the steep steps of Sever 11 a strong-jawed, stern-faced figure, dressed picturesquely in chaps, boots, broad sombrero, and all the other parapherhalia of the Western plains. His spurs will catch on the stairs and twirl with a merry ring; his lasso will describe lazy circles over the heads of the admiring assembly.

It was, in a word, a public forum for free discussion...
...N.R.A. will not respond to violent denunciations of the law; they will rise up and vote for sounder and better-drafted measures. Likewise is it futile to roar "Communism" and "Fascism" when additions to the Supreme Court are mentioned. An effective opposition must prove to the public that the broad interpretation of the Constitution is not needed as quickly as the President thinks. In his own metaphor, revolution is farther off from his term than Sumter was from President Buchanan...
