    “With a smile of Christian charity great Casey’s visage shone;
    He stilled the rising tumult, he made the game go on;”
    —Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)

    —V.S. (Victor Sawdon)

    “If all political power be derived only from Adam, and be to descend only to his successive heirs, by the ordinance of God and divine institution, this is a right antecedent and paramount to all government; and therefore the positive laws of men cannot determine that, which is itself the foundation of all law and government, and is to receive its rule only from the law of God and nature.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
