...Anyone who has witnessed a young person on a ventilator because his or her ability to breathe has been suppressed by toxic quantities of alcohol would wonder how such a thing could happen to a Harvard student. But as the Scott Krueger death showed, even the brightest and most promising students coming to colleges like MIT and Harvard are not invulnerable, as immortal as they may feel in the excitement of being here...

...would also note, as I have stated before, that almost every instance of serious behavioral misconduct at Harvard (physical violence, destruction of property, etc.) is associated with alcohol.

Less than three years ago, in a staff editorial on Nov. 1, 1995, entitled "A Call for Moderation" written following the issuance of a statement on alcohol by the College, The Crimson urged, "Because a heavy-handed University crackdown on alcohol consumption would make the situation worse, we feel that a more effective policy would be for the administration to remain deliberately lenient in the enforcement of guidelines regarding the use of alcohol by underage students. When alcohol...
