...first problem is what the Council should do. Originally, it merely advised the Dean on the students' view of important matters. Then it took on the work of a social service bureau.

...view of the strains under which he worked during the war years, Roosevelt showed remarkably good humor during the conferences. When the Russian armies were on the offensive at Stalingrad, he told the reporters: "You can say [I am] dee-lighted, if you want to." And when they questioned him on U.S. dealings with the dubious Admiral Darlan, he retorted with "an old Balkan proverb": "My children, you are permitted in time of great danger to walk with the Devil until you have crossed the bridge...
