comment: Entered from New York Times event listing and review. According to the review, "Dr. Henry Noble MacCracken, president of Vassar College, told an America First Committee rally at Carnegie Hall last night that if America really committed itself to the destruction of Nazi tyranny, as pledged by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill, it meant war for us." The review notes a "capacity crowd" of 3,000 people was in attendance. John T. Flynn presided. "Events Today." New York Times (1923-), Aug 20 1941, p. 15. ProQuest. Web. 15 Nov. 2023.
