Then he had put up an unauthorized and un­ recognized opposition slate and stumped the campus until a committee was named, consisting of the late Professor Amos Hershey, PAUL HARMON, AB'14, AM'15, PhD'20, now professor of physiology at l.U., and Willkie himself, to modify the Union constitution. The committee's modi­ fi cations were not accepted, but eventually the Union con­ stitution was revised to permit a more democratic selec­ tions of board members.

He had ridden the precarious surf­ board of big business on a tidal crest of public opinion "Standing room only!" was the order oj the day duril1g from TVA to a Presidential nomination. He had done it the convention at Philadelphia when Wendell W illkie held with his hair in his eyes, a grin on his face, and his right press conJerences at which he answered all questions and hand waving at the spectators. When he stepped off hi., pulled no punches-to the delight oj the newsmen. frail craft to trek inland on his campaign, he still had his equilibrium and his breath. WilIkie's University reputation grew out of his frequent battles with the University administration. WilIkie's na­ tional reputation stemmed from a battle with a national ad: mInIstration. For while the Willkie phenomenon, as it has been called, has been 48 years in the growing, it be­ gan, insofar as its public aspects are concerned, in 1937, when Willkie fought TVA from the Tennessee valley to the national treasury. The TVA fight was a no-decision contest, but it brought the case of the private utilities before the public. Told by Wall Street business associates to "pipe down" rather than arouse New Deal reprisals against business in general, Wilikie only yelled louder, pointed out that with TVA's privileges in the Tennessee valley, his Commonwealth and The October 1940 were innumerable reasons "why not Willkie." First of all, be had been a Democrat and admitted having cast his vote for Roosevelt and contributed to the Democratic cam­ paign fund in 1932. Furthermore, although he stood at the top of the business world, " Big business" was a stigmatized class when associated with politics. And of all big businesses in which to be engaged, public utilities, which had acquired a poor reputation during the depres­ sion, undoubtedly was the worst, from the standpoint of a possible Presidential candidacy. But had not this same Willkie, when new to the I ndi­ ana campus, aligned himself with the unorganized, the underdogs, the stigmatized barbarians? Had he not, ill his first major political test, split the ranks of the or­ ganized and elected his friend, Paul Harmon, president of the sophomore class? What mattered class or position as long as he could fight? Columnists and commentators took up the Willkie cry from coast to coast, but in the same breaths listed the rea­ sons why Willkie had no chance. Raymond Moley dubbed it "a study in irony." "But," said Moley, "for some curious reason, after the professional politicians heave the last shovelful of con­ versational sad on Willkie's chances, they still cannot leav~ him for dead." Inadvertently, the commentators were taking the Willkie Like his boyhood idol, Theodore Roosevelt, Willkie is case to the public, just as Willkie had taken the utilities a proliJic reader.

The Republican convention at Philadelphia was typical The passing of time, the Gallup poll and the Republican until Willkie began to move. He had no lieutenants.

In 1912 he was chosen to stage a mock Democratic convention on the campus. These conventions, in days be­ fore radio, were events of importance. Delegates to rep­ resent all states were selected, speakers were lined up, a date was set. The date turned out to be the elate of a play-aU Purdue-Indiana baseball game for the Conference cham­ pionship. Delegates and speakers disappeared into a special train and headed for Lafayette. The convention never met. The tidal wave rolled on from Philadelphia into Elwood, carrying 235,000 persons with it. It was the largest such gathering ever seen in this country. His family, his towns­ people, his LU. classmates and thousands upon thousands who had no claim of kinship or comradeship were there to hear the first important message of a new-born idol.

They were not stooges, that Elwood audience. They were not strictly partisan. All over town, as 3 o'clock approached,; there was a feeling of challenge, an air of "let's hear what he's got to say." In the downtown section, as the figure of the day was introduced, a listener epitomized the majority viewpoint of the crowd: "Now," he said, "we'll hear if he's worth all this." And a mile away in Callaway park, a serious, subdued Wendell Willkie adjusted his glasses, mopped his perspiring brow, gazed out over seemingly limitless humanity and spoke these words: " We are here today to represent a sacred cause- the preservation of American democracy....
