...stipulation that beer cannot be sold to those under twenty-one years of age, it has proved not only harassing to the legal advisers of the University, but unenforceable throughout the state. There should, no doubt, be no sale to children, but to prevent it, an age-limit of sixteen would be a far wiser means than the present one. To replace a completely unenforced law like prohibition with another which must remain partially unenforced is a particularly ill-advised sort of legislation...

Presumably some scheme would have to be put into effect whereby all students over 21 who wished to purchase beer would be issued cards certifying their age. At Dartmouth beer is now being served, but no age limit exists in New Hampshire. Yale and Princeton, like Harvard, are investigating the matter, and have not as yet reached any decision.

Hoarders. Up last week also was the time limit set by President Roosevelt for hoarders to return to the Government all their gold holdings above $100 under pain of $10,000 fine and ten years imprisonment. Since March 6 nearly a billion dollars in gold had flowed back to the Treasury but some $700,000,000 was still...
