To the Editor of the CRIMSON:
Wilson has been defeated. His bell of political fame has gradually ceased to ring. But its tolls shall never be forgotten, because they were human. They were the heart-beats of a man defeated by the people and the country for whom he has died. Defeated not as a Caesar, by his ambition; nor a Napoleon, by a flaw in his military strategy; but defeated by propaganda and politics, that underestimated his truth and genius, which lay in his "League of Nations" prayers and plans. "Not since the heralding angels sang the great birth song of Christ has one arisen to carry with greater devotion the white banner of peace and good will".
Woodrow Wilson's voice is silent and his pen is still, but his lofty ideals of universal peace still live. JOHN SUMNER WOOD '35.
