Totally blind from the age of 14, Isolationist Gore was one of the first two Senators elected when Oklahoma became a state, amazed his colleagues with his ability to rattle off facts & figures from memory on the Senate floor...

...this is a very real question if due weight is given to the prospects of permanence in a constantly changing world. The history of Harvard buildings throws light on this point. Old Gore Hall that for the better part of a country was the College Library was a memorial of Governor Christopher Gore; yet it had to give place to another memorial--the present Widener Library. Gore's name was transferred to a supposedly permanent Freshman dormitory which later became a part of Winthrop House. McKinlock Hall was a memorial to a Harvard here of the first World War, with...
