Lord Willingdon is acceptable to the non-partisan mass of the British public because of his obvious fitness for the job. Long, lean, after his able service through the War as Governor of Bombay (Bombay was headquarters for the ill-fated British Mesopotamia expedition) he was appointed Governor of Madras. British papers announced that it was "a foregone conclusion" that he would be next Viceroy of India. Something went wrong, Lord Reading, a fellow-Liberal, got the job. In 1926 Lord Willingdon was made Governor General of Canada. Gerard Frederick Freeman-Thomas, his eldest son, served in the Coldstreams...
...having recognized Acting President Palma, it was duty-bound not to recognize Acting President Orellana. In 1923 Secretary of State Charles Evans Hughes endorsed a Central American agreement which mutually barred recognition of any Central American government which came into existence through a coup d'etat.

The belief in the passive resistance of undergraduates to jingoistic ideas of one kind or another is upset by the realization that the undergraduate is passively accepting House originality, even during the last three months. The process is slow, but its very passivity and languor indicates the impressionability of the students...
Lowell House, as is obvious to anyone who has been observant, is the seat of a small but active cult bent on a crusade toward Balliol. The question is not on the merits of the English college. But a house individualism established through an uncritical limitation, and not through a sober development of its own faculties, is not an individualism that breeds men who think for themselves. The student members have proved themselves very lamb-like in accepting certain superficial actions, not bad though occasionally childish. The zealous minority is coaxing an effortless majority...
