...three Holworthy freshmen were turned in by a friend to their senior adviser. The adviser shook them from their sleep the next morning and grilled them on their activities at an M.I.T. pot party the night before.

But Congress has excluded such unpopular personages as the polygamist; Victor Berger, a Wisconsin Socialist opposed to American participation in World War I; and assorted sympathizers with the South during...
