He was an ardent Bryan man. As a joke, people started calling George "Ted," after Teddy Roosevelt, a nickname that has stuck ever since...

While such striking proof of student enthusiasm toward an urgent cause seems unusually favorable, one fact remains far less encouraging: contributions from the Faculty and Graduate Schools have been shamefully small.
