Title

Results of Y.W.C.A. Ballot Point to Hoover's Election

Subject

The Presidential Election of 1932

Description

Ursinus' students hilariously miscall the outcome of presidential election, choosing Hoover and not FDR to be the victor. This does, however, indicate that conservatism was the popular political ideology on campus. Though there were students who sided with liberalism and even socialism.
