...When Frank Bartlette Willis was a young school teacher, college student and professor of history and economics at Ohio Northern University (Ada, Ohio), the great political names in Ohio were McKinley, Hanna, Foraker, Hay. President Garfield's sons were still on the scene. John Sherman, Secretary of the Treasury, Senator, Secretary of State, did not die until 1900. Ohio politics was a vivid mixture of business (two parts), religion (two parts) and state pride (one part).

...Frank Bartlette Willis, farmer's son, was "home grown" even more consciously and thoroughly than his outstanding contemporaries, Warren G. Harding and James M. Cox. He did not live to outgrow Ohio, like a William Howard Taft or a Theodore Elijah Burton. He would have resented the suggestion that he could ever outgrow Ohio. He died as he could only have wished to die, of red fire and political excitement, just after shaking the hand and naming the name of every member of the Delaware Kiwanis Club.

Foreign Minister Aristide Briand of France wants to sign a two-power treaty "outlawing war" between his country and the U. S. Secretary of State Frank Billings Kellogg insists that the treaty be a multi-power affair "renouncing war as an instrument of national policy."

When Glenn Frank resigned as editor of the Century and became president of the University of Wisconsin in 1925, people told him what terrible hours a university executive had to spend on detail work. He, inexperienced, was no doubt expected to be at his desk from dawn until evensong. But, instead, he was found in his office about half as often as his predecessor. He wandered about the campus, made trips to Manhattan, continued to write for magazines.
