...against the fraternities, preached revolt against the university faculty. One of the fraternity leaders (Beta Theta Pi) was his aristocratic friend Paul Vories McNutt, whom Willkie still likes to josh at Indiana University alumni dinners.

At the close of their senior year he always advised his students to get married the day after graduation. From 1908, he stayed at Princeton, ripening not only in years, but-as many other old-fashioned teachers do not-in wisdom and prestige...
