...delight and an inspiration,--this is the memory left by the courses in Philosophy of Professor Palmer. Those who care for literature know he has enriched it with his biographies, essays, translations, and, above all, his work of almost filial piety, the definitive edition of George Herbert. His friends think of his fearlessness of opinion, his idealism and his power of drawing only what is their best from the men and women in whom he has once put faith.

But it is possible to procure these men at times other than the middle of a campaign. Also it is possible to have these men speak on the broader aspects of politics. In short, let us have principles rather than propaganda; lectures rather than stump speeches...
