The fan club, frustrated by the hostile tone of public discourse, has decided to throw in the towel and enter the fray. We are taking as our model the Wide-Awakes, recruiting people to dress in capes and caps, light torches, and march solemnly in formation through the streets of Cambridge at all hours of the night.
Just as the Wide-Awakes provided moral support and inspiration to an embattled and progressive leader, so shall we support dear Drew Gilpin Faust. Join us! Everyone looks good by fire light!
(I can see her face on the banner but wonder about the eagle.)

Miss Grimke, thanks for sending me to the history books to find out who the Wide-Awakes really were. I never fail to learn something at your virtual knee.
