...notice with interest the statement in TIME, that the author of the "Jones Law," or the ''Five & Ten," "had seen only one drunken man in his life" (TIME, April 1). If the Senator made such statement, I would like to recall to his mind, when he must have seen them as many as three at a time, unless he was "seeing without eyes."

...great enough to offset the undesirability of it becoming definitely established. Such a situation is all too likely to cause the loss of those who are by nature and training best fitted to remain for a longer stay in University Hall.
