...meeting of the Associated Southern Yale Clubs, two speeches, one by President Hadley, the other by an undergraduate representative, illustrated two points of view on the much discussed subject of college democracy.

The Very Reverend Edmund Swett Rousmaniere '83, Dean of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul...

His individual judgments may be either radical or conservative, yet, in the broad sweep of his viewpoint, he is neither. On the contrary, he combines the best of both. His is the "golden mean" of Horace. The true liberal is well-informed, dispassionate, unprejudiced--in short an ideal...
