From the April 1972 edition of The Ripon Forum:

“George Romney’s dedication to reconciliation — a theme we struck last year in making this award for the first time — can serve as an example not just to the Ripon Society but to all Republicans. His commitment to positive social change exemplifies the best possible tradition of the party of Lincoln. His leadership as a citizen reformer, from Michigan to Washington and around the country, gives us great pride In honoring him as the Ripon Society’s Republican of the Year.”
