...three Athletic Conferences which will meet at Atlanta during the vacation will concern themselves with several topics which should prove exceedingly interesting, if not particularly vital. After last year's National Collegiate Athletic Association Meeting, when the Football Rules Committee made so many changes in the football code, the results of this year's Conference may seem insignificant. But the fertile question of "Faculty Control of Athletics" will make no little argument, and introduced as it will be by President Angell of Yale, its solution will have considerable weight. And another report of general interest will be that...
Legality. The U. S. is now the only civilized country, with the possible exception of Japan, which places absolute legal restrictions on the dissemination of information on methods of preventing conception. The present Federal legislation consists mainly of Section 211 of the Penal Code, enacted by Congress in the flurry of a closing session on March 3, 1873, at the instance of Anthony Comstock.?

Truth is not a matter...
Prior to the Volstead act the colleges had their own code regarding drink. It was forbidden to bring intoxicants into university buildings. Drunkenness, if public, was "conduct unbecoming a scholar and a gentleman." Moreover, the man who was publicly intoxicated lost caste with his fellows. They made a nice distinction between the celebration of football victories, club elections and the like, and real addiction to drink. This state of affairs was the culmination of fifty years of growing moderation. The old days when the few men were drunkards, and the many teetotalers were yielding to an almost European practice...
