...From the Fall of '12 to the Spring of 1916 isolationist sentiment set in at the College. A Spring poll gave Roosevelt 660 votes to Wilson's 591 and Hughes' 348. When T. R. did not run, Hughes was the beneficiary, piling up 1140 tallies in November to 627 for Wilson. Harvard was further out of line with national sentiment than the Eastern colleges, which gave Hughes an average of only 10 votes to 9 for Wilson...
...Democrats at the College never had a chance. Coolidge (in 1924) and Hoover (in 1928) won the undergraduate polls handily, although the Law School returned a large majority for Alfred E. Smith in 1928. Two parties of Harvard "indifference" grew up in that decade. 1924 saw the rise and fall of the Nihilists, a masked and secret society of 50 men who backed Little Codfish Cabot (a dummy at the top of a telephone pole) for President and Joe Dube, "the favorite of Soldiers Field...

In this post he busted trusts, pulled down $8,000,000 for the Commonwealth on the Brink case alone, and piled up a record that was 95 percent...
...this fall John P. Wintergreen has been with us in song only. The Presidential campaign has been dull and exhausting. We are bored with the candidates and tired by all the Issues of the Day. Now, John P. Wintergreen--there was a fine and simple man. He campaigned on a platform of love; that is all. And when there is love on the billboards, what are Issues of The Day? We have ended in thinking too deeply and quaffing too lightly...
