New York's Bishop William Thomas Manning would bless their food. President James Rowland Angell of Yale University. Author John Erskine (Columbia, 1900). Chief Judge Benjamin Nathan Cardozo (Columbia...

Slowly, carefully, a little larger than usual, the President wrote his name at the bottom of H. J. R. 147, smilingly handed the pen over to Mr. Meyer as a souvenir. To the country at large the President declared...
