...leniency to the Massie defendants must come through him. The court was powerless to carry out the jury's recommendation for clemency, and unless immediate executive commutation intervened, all four prisoners would be forced to pay the penalty for their crime. And while Governor Judd knew well that native sentiment demanded punishment and would react disagreeably to undue leniency, he was influenced even more by expressions of American opinion which reached him.

There is the deep rapture and breath taking enthusiasm of Professor McIlwain which sweeps the stupidity of Stephen and of the class into brighter realms...
...true that your editorial on "Communist Calm" yesterday hardly deserves refutation, and the empty sophistry of it should not be dignified by counter-argument. It is unfortunate that the only organ for expressing undergraduate sentiment on current affairs should be no more liberal or thoughtful in its attitude to tremendous problems than the CRIMSON in such editorials as this...
