Listen to the interview:

Edwin: "The big thing on campus when I was here was isolationism vs. getting ready for the War. When I came I was strongly influenced by what you would call left wing thinking which was war was a bad thing and so on. And I found that The Dartmouth was a very congenial atmosphere because everybody at The Dartmouth from the top editor down were all strongly anti-war. But then war had begun when we got here and so my first year at The Dartmouth everything was very isolationist. That was our pitch. We all believed it. It was sort of in us and then it gradually changed."
