...newspaper owner in spite of his honorable record as legislator, lieutenant-governor, and United States senator from a pivotal state, Mr. Harding's name is not distinguished by any title of achievement. In his ability to make friends, to deliver a telling speech, and to follow unerringly the spirit and the letter of sound Republican doctrine, Senator Harding is without a rival, and insofar as these are worthy qualities he would make an excellent chief executive. Unhampered by the inevitable enmities which every fearless and competent leader of men must face, aided by the support of the old-line party...

They should not be forgotten in the zeal for a better Glee Club...
...particularly upperclass sentiment puts a ban on dishonesty, when Cornell students shall look upon acts of deceit with just as much disfavor as do students of the University of Virginia, for instance. There is no difference in the type of student, at the two universities certainly. Our American democratic spirit grants the First Families of Virginia no higher code of honor than the Last Families of Podunk. We are merely conscious of a different viewpoint...
