...duty on most French imports. When it was presented to the House of Commons for approval three days later, only a handful of Laborites and Free Traders voted against it. Even monocled Sir Austen Chamberlain, famed as Britain's ablest Francophile, voted for the tariff. More in sorrow than in anger he announced...

Lawrence Lowell tendered his resignation to this Board, in June he presided for the last time over the Commencement exercises, and on September 1, he turned over to his successor the direction of the University.

When William Randolph Hearst wanted to add his name to a list of prominent citizens endorsing Hearst's proposed memorial to sailors lost in the Maine (1898), Cleveland telegraphed him: "I decline to allow my sorrow for those who died on the Maine to be perverted to an advertising scheme for the New York Journal." One of his letters to Andrew Carnegie thanks him for a present of Scotch; another (written as a trustee of Princeton University) advises Carnegie to give a proposed benefaction...
