Charles O. Porter '41, yesterday attempted to stell the G.O.P. bandwagon when he presented Thomas Dewey, current Republican white-haired boy who is visiting Boston, with a printed examination paper called "Presidency 40."
The exam, which was enclosed in a bluebook, was handed to Dowey at a reception yesterday in the Hotel Statler. The first question read, "Young men and women want to President who will give them inspiration and leadership to build a better America.' Discuss with special reference to 'New Deal Defeatism' and 'Balanced Budget.' Ten minutes."
The final question was, "The President's role in a warring world is that of (a) an active (or passive, i.e. 'available') arbitrator or (b) an active (or passive) isolationist. Select one, or suggest an alternative, and defend. Five minutes."
Dewey's comment was, "This is a tough exam. But I've been cramming for that last question."
