 Thomas, Norman [Mattoon]
Thomas, Norman [Mattoon] (1884-1968), six times Socialist candidate for president of the United States, 1928 through 1948, began what he called a lifelong ``love affair with Old Nassau'' when, as a ``gangling lad'' in Marion, Ohio, a family friend gave him a copy of Jesse Lynch Williams's Princeton Stories.
After a year at Bucknell, Thomas was admitted to Princeton in the fall of 1902 as a ``heavily conditioned'' sophomore thus becoming ``a member of the glorious Class of 1905.'' He passed off his conditions, qualified for the ``first general group'' all three years, and was chosen class valedictorian at graduation.
Thomas later recalled that he had been barred as a speaker from the Princeton campus from 1917 to 1924 but that to his ``pleased surprise'' he was given an honorary degree in 1932.

 Theology Today - Vol 34, No. 4 - January 1978 - BOOK REVIEW - Norman Thomas: The Last Idealist
Norman Thomas emerges-with Violet-from the pages of this book an altogether believable if extraordinarily complex man. The richness of detail which Swanburg weaves into his tapestry is part of its realism, and the wonder is that patterns are not lost in ornamentation.
Perhaps the devil was banished from Thomas' mind, but God tugged at him to the end, for at least as significant as his agnosticism was the fact that Norman Thomas was a bearer of twentieth-century theology.
In his attention to social and ethical consequences, Thomas epitomized what was essential in the social gospel theology of others who were able to resolve or sublimate questions of first principles.
