	May/June Gazette: Obits: Harold Stassen
		Though Stassen was not the only politician-president in the Ivy League at that time—Dwight Eisenhower had just taken over at Columbia—many questioned the selection of a man who had no ties to Penn or experience as an academic administrator.
		Coming as he did from the Big Ten, Stassen argued that academic excellence was not incompatible with gridiron success, but Penn’s Ivy rivals, who had grown tired of losing to the Quakers and had no desire to keep up with a big-time program, dropped the team from their schedules.
		In all, Stassen’s tenure was not a particularly rewarding one, either for him or for Penn, and it was clear when he resigned to take a post in the Eisenhower Administration that he and the trustees were relieved to be rid of each other.

	Power Line: The new Harold Stassen?
		When I was a kid, there was a guy named Harold Stassen who ran in the Republican presidential primaries every four years.
		In 1964, I think he won a substantial number of votes in a midwest primary (Illinois or Indiana, if memory serves) in which he was the moderate alternative to Barry Goldwater.
		But his defining moment occurred in 1948, when he was the front-runner for the Republican nomination until faltering in one of the key primaries of that day (I think it was a western state, Oregon perhaps).
