...conclusion follows quickly enough: Since there exist wide differences in opinion between men with identical interests as to what those interests are and how they may be best protected, unless we deny intelligence to women we must accept it as inevitable that there may exist the same differences of opinion between men and women,--between father and daughter, husband and wife, brother and sister. And unless we wish to contend further that women's opinions are inferior to men's we cannot but conclude that to confer the expression of opinion by the ballot exclusively upon the male...

This was the platform on which the Republican party was founded and upon which it made the contests in 1856 which resulted in the defeat of Fremont, and, in 1860, when its victory made Abraham Lincoln president. In 1848, however, there were few who were ready to accept this doctrine.

...Within the next few weeks we shall need for our field service about 20 additional volunteers who are good motor car drivers.

They would have done...
Professor Meyer's letter smacks of theatricalism. It was sent to the press before President Lowell had had opportunity to reply. It contains, moreover, the assertion that Professor Meyer finds himself unable to accept an exchange position next year because of Harvard's bigotry. Yet we find it hard to believe that Professor Meyer is still ignorant of the action taken by the Corporation four months ago, to withdraw the intended invitation because of his intemperate utterances elsewhere. Professor Meyer is "refusing" an invitation never extended...
