...York Evening Post: "One of the possibilities ... is Mr. Morrow's promotion to the Secretaryship of State if Secretary Kellogg should retire before the end of President Coolidge's term in office. But in any case Mr. Morrow's appointment opens the way to a public career for him, either in the Cabinet or in higher European diplomatic posts, under this or subsequent Republican administrations...
Both Kelley and Burns played football at Exeter, the former being somewhat obscured in the academy ranks after a brilliant career at Winchester High, while the latter never attained first string rating among his schoolboy teammates. The possibilities of either as a first string college pilot are very difficult to predict.

I am merely basing my present opinions on what the Associated Press chose to quote from your editorial. But this I do know--my own college career was made possible by the Employment Bureau: I needed money and was willing to work. I was asked intimate questions by the Bureau, and I did not have too much pride to answer them. Had the Bureau shown the "indifference" you recommend, my college days might have ended prematurely...
