A request by the Young Republican Club to invite vice-President Nixon to a morning rally on the campus was turned down by Samuel T. Arnold, provost of the University, because the noise "might be very disruptive to classes." The Brown Daily Herald took a very dim view of this and felt the Young Republicans should have protested the decision. But as Lewis explained, "If you are bringing a major speaker here, the University must know all about it before he can come...
