...speech in defense of the Covenant of the League. He minutely described the conference room and the more important delegates, and the impression which the ex-President was obviously making on his audience. The British and American drafts of the Covenant had been amalgamated, and the result was a document which embodied the best features of both, and it was this Covenant for which Mr. Wilson strove...
...Library has lately received, through the generosity of Mr. Percy S. Straus '97, of New York, a most interesting original document connected with the early history of the College, the original subscription paper of the Town and Church of Concord, Mass., in which the several residents pledged themselves to give collectively five pounds a year for the support of the College for seven years, and it is signed by twenty-five or thirty of the inhabitants of Concord at that time.

His Republican convictions are set forth with incisive moderation, which lends emphasis to every statement. He deals expeditiously with the various international and socialistic delusions; sets forth a peace program as clear as it is decisive; makes a quick analysis of the league of nations and puts well defined limits to its powers. The greater part of his platform is, however, devoted to domestic problems, beginning with the high cost of living and following its economic and sociological...
