...Rose, head of the Spanish department and chairman of the University Athletic Association-each made scholarly contributions to the art and practice of drinking. Professor Yandell, interested in the toxicological aspect of tippling, announced in the Yale News that a tosspot would have to down two litres (one-half gal.) of 4% beer every hour to become intoxicated.
