...from the general debacle of the Republicans, he continued in modest triumph till his death. But in reality, that debacle, and the confutation of the threadbare beliefs which he expressed in office and through the syndicated press, left him politically speaking, a discredited and pathetic figure. It is obvious that the nation has gone beyond Mr. Coolidge's exceed and will not return to it. There remains only the memory of his personality and its perfect adequacy for what America demanded of its chief executive when he was in office. How much attention historians will give to his achievements...
...feel that more emphasis might well be laid on tutorial work and less on course work, with, of course, the obvious necessity of appointing highly qualified tutors. I also feel strongly that if tutorial work is to be really effective, it should be put on a level with the highest quality of faculty instruction.

All the latter could do, although if found the trial unfair, was to order retrial in the same court and probably under mach the same conditions...
...press is a trivial matter. In the East it is almost inconceivable that there should be a resort to the crude mob methods of American obscurantism. Yet in this case they are revived, and in a university environment, by a commonplace exercise of freedom of speech. It is obvious that if all such brutalities escape drastic punishment, then criticism of any sort must come to an end where they are condoned or extenuated. The man who would reinstate such transgressors certainly has no true view of the principles involved...
