Syracuse University Chancellor James Roscoe Day takes exception to an editorial called “The Scandal-Mongering Epoch” which stated that he “strikes no sympathetic chord in the Methodist Church” when he reflects upon the limits of presidential power. Day outlines several of his reflections that he believes should align with Methodist values and decries the role of the press in contributing to the current national mood.
