Denying categorically that the college is a hot bed of radicalism, atheism, and immorality, the bulletin says further, "It is apparent that current magazines and daily papers are at present subjecting all colleges to sharp and often undeserved criticism, and that Smith has seemed to come in for a particularly heavy share." The charge of immorality which is mentioned, is the outcome of the country wide publicity given a questionnaire on sex distributed three years ago in a course in advanced psychology at the suggestion of students, and without the knowledge of the higher college authorities...

The theory is, of course, that a serious student will do much better work and get better results if he is put on his own responsibility--a theory to which we heartily subscribe. It is also likely that such a quiet period will give the less serious student his first...
