...face cupped in his hands Franklin Delano Roosevelt began the biggest day of his life with that prayer ringing in his ears at Washington's St. John's Episcopal Church, across Lafayette Park from the White House. For the 20-minute service in the plain white chapel he had gathered about him his family, his Cabinet, a few close friends. At the altar in cassock & surplice stood his old schoolmaster, Groton's Dr. Endicott ("Peabo") Peabody who had married him to Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. From his heart, from the hearts of his little band of worshippers, from...
...this collection of contemporary journals may offer sharp contrast to the romantic tale that is found in the "Half Century of Conflict." The book is a compilation of ten accounts of the siege by different eye-witnesses, six of whom remain unknown to the present day.

...demonstrations in these cases were motivated by something more than an adolescent desire to make a noise; the students felt that they had been summarily and stupidly dealt with, and that efforts to clamp down on the free expression of undergraduate opinion deserved a plain and speedy answer. Such incldents as these, and the ill-feeling and organized protest stirred up, show not nearly the touchiness and independence of the student body, but more particularly the need of a saner policy on the part of the college and student councils in place of the present stubborn and antagonistic attitude...
