...building institution, this "fair Harvard"? Obtaining synthetic gin is no longer so difficult and clever a feat that those who accomplish it need show to the outside world how enlivening an effect gin has. No longer is it a truly remarkable achievement to get enough wine for boisterous merriment. Drunkard ness among students, while pitiable, is not a condition which is altered by weeping or preaching. As long as the attitude of the student body is one of making merry over sometimes truly funny antics of the tipsy ones, and as long as strong drink is upheld because...
...editorial supports the scheme for an essay competition with Yale with a somewhat portentous psychological discussion. There are two stories; the longer, "Edged Tools" by H.L.

The Governor of the State makes a speech at the Mission, in which he praises brotherly love and help of the unfortunate. Joe claims the Governor as his brother. The latter part of the play is a conflict of the Governor between the dignity of his office and the claim of the drunkard, in which finally the Governor accepts Joe as his brother...
Those who err cannot be converted all at once and forcibly. They must be gradually raised to a sense of their wrong. The miser must be shown how much good can be done with the money which he has hoarded for himself. The drunkard should be shown the necessity of good fellowship and harmony in his own family...
