youthful president of the Univer
sity of Chicago, should be the
next president of the United

At least this is the opinion of
Novelist Sinclair Lewis, who said
in a recent lecture at Washington,
D. C., that the famed educator is
“the kind of man who could face
Stalin, Mussolini, and Hitler and
make them feel a little ashamed.”
